This was the first chapter book that my son read. It was dreadfully painful for me to listen to him try to read it. However, it was simple enough that he was able to read most of the words. This is a good book for hesitant readers if they like things like the transformers. It has a comic book section in it that is fun for the little kids.

Cute, exciting and short. I can see why these are a hit with the advanced beginning reader boys!

melhara's review against another edition
I previously read Ricky Ricotta's Giant Robot Vs the Voodoo Vultures from Venus which I've reviewed here.
This was a cute and lengthy picture book about a mouse and his giant rodent robot saving Earth from Mutant Mosquitoes from Mercury. There was a section where the Giant Robot helped Ricky cheat on his math test, which was quite funny. As with the previous book I read, I enjoyed the graphics and the bonus flip-o-rama and how-to-draw-the-character pages.

Part of a personal challenge to read all of my boyfriend's and his sister's childhood books before we donate and give them away.

My 8 year old loves this series! They're all wild adventures with action, silliness and absolutely amazing illustrations by the wonderful Dan Santat (in the updated editions). They're a great length for new readers too!

Max really likes it because the mosquitoes are disgusting, but they don't want to drink the people's blood. He also likes that his spaceship turns into a Mecha-mosquito.
