Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Adventures by Dav Pilkey, Martin Ontiveros

5.0

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.
