Scholastic books for boys and their Dads {Giveaway}

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.
