From the author who brought you Fly Guy comes an easy-to-read graphic
novel about two very funny brothers--"great fun for newly independent
readers and graphic novel newbies" (School Library Journal)
Mac and Mac, who love pie and hate making their beds, are hollow-headed.
See in here? Nothing! Zippo! Nada! Mac explains. That's why they're so
easy to fool--and their clever friend Meatball isn't afraid to take
advantage of that fact.
Illustrated by Tedd Arnold, whose Fly Guy series is a kid favorite, this
graphic novel is perfect for comic fans and reluctant readers, with
short, funny chapters following Mac and Mac through ridiculous
adventures. Full of wordplay, jokes, and slapstick humor, the Noodlehead
series is sure to delight.
Based on traditional world folktales and stories of fools, the
Noodleheads also encourage critical thinking, inviting kids to use
their noodles--spotting the holes in the brothers' grand plans, and
anticipating how things will go awry.
Source notes from professional storytellers Martha Hamilton and Mitch
Weiss provide more information about the traditional stories that
inspired Mac and Mac's mishaps, showing how these comic motifs feature
in folklore and legends all around the world and offering opportunities
for further reading.
This easy-to-read series, including the Geisel Honor book Noodleheads
See the Future, is an accessible introduction to stories of fools, and
a great next read for fans of the Fly Guy books.
