Spotted on Amazon, from the same folks who made Art and Arcana–two new books aimed at younger readers, introducing them to monsters, adventurers, and D&D.

Following in the wake of the ABC’s and 123’s of D&D, there are two new books that have been seen around the internet that are aimed at bringing younger players into the game. If you’ve got kids, or work with them through an organization that brings D&D to schools, these books look like they might be the perfect way to introduce the magic of dungeons and dragons to the next generation.
