happy
This book is what I expected. Age appropriate fun games and activities relating to the Ricky Ricotta books. My 7 year old son loves it.

Activity book
This is an activity book that goes along with the series. It has trivia questions, mazes, jokes,word scrambles,word searches, codes etc... My 6 year old loves it. It has a section that goes along with each book.

A must read for every young boy.
I have purchased this and every book so far in the series for each little guy in my life. They love the books and ask for more each time they finish one. I am glad to give them something that encourages reading and dosn't break the wallet.

Ricky Ricotta's Giant Robot
I really did not like the book. If I had to give three reasons it would have to be it did not make sense. It was not making sense because there were too many words for one meaning. The book really did not have any meaning .

If I had to pick the worst thing about this book. It would have to be that it was not interesting. All it was about was a robot. I really did not like this book because it had no color.

Great story!!!
My 6 year old son's reading level was in between. Not good enough for some books but others that he could read were too babyish. This series is a wonderful compromise. It has the look and feel of the Capt. Underpants which is still out of his reach but so very interesting to him. While driving from Florida to NY state, when given the choice between watching a video or reading he chose to read the Mighty Robot, he's never made that choice on his own before. On top of all this, it is a warm, funny story that appeals to the first grade male population, a great find.

A great book for early male readers
At age 7, my son had mastered the basics of reading and refused to touch those step into reading books anymore because he thought they were boring. This book is great for readers who are in the transition of stepping up to chapter books. It is an easy,and interesting enough a book that my son can, and wants to, read it by himself in bed. While he loved Captain Underpants, he found many of the words and concepts (like "reverse psychology") a little difficult to grasp alone so that book needed adult help. Ricky Ricotta gave him confidence because he could easily read it ,and yet it wasn't a "baby" book. I also find that most early chapter books are written with the female reader in mind. This one isn't.

Hours of enjoyment! Great kid's book!
My 5 year old loves not only the Ricky Ricotta stories, but the drawing tutorial things in the back keep him occupied for hours! We have lots of homemade comics around the house now and sometimes he would rather draw than play on the computer -- that's something!

This book is great!
Ricky Ricotta is a nice little mouse-boy growing up in Squeakyville. He is lonely, and hopes one day to make a big friend. When an evil scientist, Dr. Stinky, creates a giant robot to destroy Squeakyville, it rebels. Ricky rescues the robot from Dr. Stinky, and together they must protect the world!

This book is great! The drawings are black-and-white, but are quite funny, and go along great with the story, which is hilarious! My eight-year-old son picked out this book (he's into robots right now), and loved it. The book contains some "Flip-o-rama" pages, where you rapidly flip the pages back and forth and watch the somewhat-animated cartoon, which we both thought was pretty cool. The text is pretty short, and not challenging to him, but he nonetheless loved this book. We highly recommend this book.

Every boy should read this!!!!!
It is very hard to find books for little boys (starting readers), that are page turners. We slogged through the "the - wheels - turn- around - and - around" books. You know the ones with a large picture and some repetitive sentence on each page. Never mind my son, I thought even I had ADD. But we read this book in one go. That had never happened before. He is now checking out each book store for the sequel. Dave Pilkey rules!!!!

Will never get to Captin Underpants level I say
I wouldn't say the worst kids novel but this new Dav Pilkey novel series won't be like Captin Underpants. Why? The book(s) only have about 100 pages and the chapter's are like 3 to 5 pages.But since Captin Underpants has more pages, this is a good start for reader's about 6 or 7 year's old and are starting chapter books.So I don't think it will reach as many copies sold as Captin Underpants but it's just fine for young reader's starting chapter books
