Do you want to be famous? Mac and Mac do. How? By doing the
impossible! You'll laugh out loud at the funny adventures in this
comic-style book.
First they decide to walk around the world. But when Mom says it's too
far for them to go, they decide to count the stars. They reach a
bazillion when they see that some of the stars have fallen into Mom's
washtub.
Mac and Mac rescue the fallen stars, but then lose count. They decide to
count grains of sand instead.
Then . . . while counting grains of sand, they realize THEY'VE WALKED

This sixth book in the Noodleheads graphic novel series is perfect for
comic fans and reluctant readers. Short chapters--full of wordplay,
jokes, and slapstick humor--follow Mac and Mac through their funny
adventures. It is co-written and illustrated by Tedd Arnold, known for
his popular Fly Guy series.
Based on traditional world folktales and stories of fools, the
Noodleheads encourage critical thinking. They invite readers to use
their noodles to spot holes in the brothers' grand plans.
Source notes by co-authors Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss, professional
storytellers known as Beauty and the Beast, provide information about
the traditional stories that inspired Mac and Mac's mishaps and give
suggestions 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.
