You'll laugh out loud when Mac and Mac try to hatch a kitten. . . out
of a watermelon. This easy-to-read intro to graphic novels is perfect
for fans of all things goofy according to School Library Journal.
Twin brothers Mac and Mac are soooo lucky. How lucky are they?
When they get hit on the head with an acorn, they're lucky that little
acorns and not big watermelons grow on trees.
When their frenemy Meatball gives them a bag full of bees, they're lucky
that Mom has just built a beehive to put them in.
And when their watermelon DOESN'T hatch a kitten, they're lucky that
there's another way to get a pet.
Illustrated by Tedd Arnold, whose Fly Guy series is a kid favorite,
this fifth book in the Noodleheads graphic novel series 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.
