You may recall that in the Babymouse books, the narrator chimes in on a regular basis, alternately addressing readers and the main character, while Babymouse sometimes talks back to him. Rotifer, while the mean kids in the detention room include E. So Squish eats Twinkies and goes to school, but his principal is a flatworm named Mr. This occasionally strains credibility, but then, I'm pretty sure you won't care because the whole thing is clever and fun. There's a sort of mind-bending meld of everyday kid and microscopic pond life here.
I got a new slime mold!!! The cutest ever!!! I named him Fluffy!!! You guys want to see him after school?!?!" Peggy thinks everything is cute and nice and sweet, up to and including the school bully who threatens in all seriousness to devour her. Squish's other (sort of) sidekick is a "girl" named Peggy, she of the eyelashes and overly optimistic smile. When science genius and major lunch money mooch Pod says, "The fate of the world rests on my shoulders," Squish points out, "You don't have shoulders." Helpful arrows go on to add that Pod has no ears, no nose, no butt, and no shame, as well. Of course, every as piring superhero and plain old kid needs sidekicks: Squish's best friend is a "guy" named Pod. (At first glance, the hat logo appears to be a simple smiley face a closer look shows the hat's expression changing depending on the action-a nice little in-joke.) Of course, how in the heck do you turn a one-celled organism into an appealing hero? The dynamic Holm siblings show us how it's done: give your amoeba a great name and pop a baseball hat on him. So I've been looking forward to the launch of their new Super Amoeba graphic novel series. I am a big fan of this duo's Babymouse books, which are a great pick for reluctant girl readers and girls in general ages 8-11.
