Last week my oldest son and I went on an adventure of a lifetime to Turks and Caicos. This meant a first flight for my boy and all the loooooong waits at the airport that goes with it. I was surprised and happy to receive a package the day before we left from Scholastic Canada, they sent along 3 new books from the Ricky Ricotta series that was sure to keep my little dude busy while we were away!
Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot
Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot vs. the Mutant Mosquitoes From Mercury
Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot vs. the Voodoo Vultures From Venus
Dav Pilkey’s book Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot was originally published in 2000, but this new edition features brand new full colour illustrations by Dan Santat. The easy to read chapter book looks similar to an action packed comic now and even contains some short flip pages. My almost 8 year old was able to read the books by himself which made for great entertainment on the airplane and before bed at our resort. The books are nice and thick and retail for a reasonable $6.99 on paperback.
Synopsis: Getting picked on by creeps at your school? Wish you had a special friend? Meet Ricky Ricotta and his giant flying robot! Young readers will cheer as Ricky and his enormous flying robot friend soar through the air and battle the diabolical Dr. Stinky, an evil scientist who threatens to take over the world.
Perfect Father’s Day Picks!
The boys have been giving their Dad books about fathers and sons for years now for Father’s Day. It’s a great little gift that the boys enjoy and it gives Dad a special book to read to the boys before bed at night. These new titles became available on May 1st and are both perfect picks for a fun Father’s Day present this year!
Mighty Dads
Written by Joan Holub and Illustrated by James Dean this book is great book about trucks who portray the dad/son teaching relationship. Dump trucks learn to get dirty, Crane keeps his little one safe, the Fork Lift cheers is child on and at the end of the day the Dad trucks are so proud of their kiddos!
