Ricky, Ricky, Ricky! This isn't Lucy Ricardo speaking. It's me, a humble book reviewer doing my job. Kids love this book! Mr. Pilkey, you've done it again, pal! Ricky Ricotta's Giant Robot is no rookie--it's a major league winner and bestseller, no less!
This 112-page chapter book is awesome. The cartoon, comic-style characters team up for an adventure novel that kids really dig! Complete with Flip-O-Rama action scenes, it's the best four bucks you can spend on your kids. They'll get about a laugh a minute. That averages to a killer deal.
Sinking Dr. Stinky McNasty and his evil plans, battling school bullies and a zany show-and-tell session at school turns out to be rip-roaring fun. After all, our hero, a tiny mouse named Ricky Ricotta, resides in Squeakyville. Ricky used to worry about being pestered by bullies. However, something really big happens to Ricky that changes his life. Suddenly, things begin to look up for little Ricky... and his new pet! No longer afraid of bullies, he's got bigger challenges on the agenda--like foiling the evil Dr. Stinky and his plan to take over the world!
Kids get 14 chapters of reading fun plus an added bonus: easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to draw Ricky's Robot and The Monster. Way to go!
This outrageously funny novel is the first in the Ricky Ricotta's Giant Robot series. Mr. Pilkey is a busy guy---juggling best-selling series, The Adventure of Captain Underpants, along with this one. The good news is that kids can look forward to at least eight more books in the Ricky Ricotta's Giant Robot series!
Perfect for kids in grades 1-5, this book is hip to read for boys and girls...and their big brothers and sisters and maybe even mom and dad!
