==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Created by a BOT - Please change this comment when editing this page.}}
Animorphs is a series of books written by K.A. Applegate. It follow a group of five children (later, an alien joins as the sixth member), that try to stop the parasitic aliens that are known as the yeerk. 
A yeerk that enters a human has complete control over their host, and can read their memories. Because the yeerk can imitate their host almost perfectly, the children cannot contact the authorities and are on their own in the battle against the yeerk. 

In this comic Brian is suggesting that reading the animorph books would help humanity in rebuilding society. It should be noted that Brian is not suggesting all books in the series are good material: when asked if all animorphs books are on the list, Brian only suggests the andalite chronicles and the megamorphs side stories. However, the hork-bajir chronicles, Visser, and the ellimist chronicles are not mentioned. The alternamorphs choose your own adventure books are also not mentioned, probably because they are not considered to be in the same continuity.
