A bit crude and silly, your kid will love it! Captain Underpants for the slightly younger crowd.

Ricky Ricotta is a tiny mouse who is looking for a friend, which he finds when something BIG happens.
Great first chapter book for reluctant readers with interactive pages that bring the action to life.

This is a great story for young readers. The nine year old boy I read it with enjoyed the flip book aspects. The themes of the story transcend time and are always relevant to growing children.

I liked this book when I first read it years ago, but with the new illustrations it has catapulted the title and I think it will be reinvigorated with new audiences. Ricky adopts a new pet, a robot the size of a four story building. This mighty robot is also a super hero. Boys will gravitate to this series even more than they already do. Plus I think the new illustrations help to put some separation between this series and the Captain Underpants series, which is a good thing. I know parents that do not let their kids read Underpants because of the bathroom humor and with the old version of Ricky, it was hard to live under the Underpants stereotype, but this will allow the series to stand out on its own merit.
Overall, great job.
