Following in the footsteps of the popular, Japanese series Gon, the last living dinosaur is off on new adventures. Each story finds the two-foot-tall Gon in a different part of the modern-day... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Gon is a little dinosaur with a big attitude, who enjoys marching around various environments and terrorizing the big, mean animals within. This is probably the best of the Gon books I've read so far; I particularly enjoy Gon Rests. A warning: Gon tends to have a somewhat sadistic side when it comes to dealing with mean creatures. While some may count it off as their just desserts, some readers may not like it. Overall, a satisfying book. The artist is incredible, that is one point that cannot be argued.

Masashi Tanaka's gon is breath-taking. his work is incredibly detailed, and very clean looking, the fact that the book is dialog-free only enhances the look of the stories. i own nearly all the gon books, and i can honestly recommend them to everybody, i've yet to meet someone who doesnt like gon.
A picture is worth a thousand words

I must admit I bought this book on an impulse at seeing how cheap it was and in my dire need to kill some time. I was amazed to find just how involving the stories in this volume ended up being! The artwork is amazing and more than makes up for the complete lack of written word. Despite this though, it is still an engaging read as the artwork in every character and background is so lovingly rendered that you will want to read each story as thoroughly as possible so you can soak up the depth of the drawings, storytelling and humour.If you have a few bucks to spare this title will definately keep you entertained when you need some light reading.
If you want a great manga, you've found it!

I'm a big manga fan and Gon is one of my favorites. Although it is wordless, the pictures inside seem to be alive and telling the story. No matter what race you are, you'll understand it, there's no language barrier at all because theres only actions in this manga! Its cute and very exciting, when you're done, you'll thirst for more! Even picture inside are neatly and detaily drawn. Definitly worth your 5 bucks! Just the price of your lunch except you can read this over and over again!
It's my favorite book. Gon is swimming in a tortoise shell!

Gon is one mischivious little dinosaur. In this book he is walking and finds a turtle shell. He kicks it and slips inside. Next he goes into the water with his turtle buddies and gets in fights with giant squids and seagulls. In the next story Gon is picked up by a tornado and lands in the desert. My favorite story is Gon and his posse.
