Ricky Ricotta lives with his Mum and Dad in
Squeakyville. His biggest wish is for a friend, a big one, who will help him
thwart the bullies who pick on him. So one day, when evil Dr Stinky McNasty
brings his Mighty Robot to town, Ricky befriends the giant robot. Instead of
destroying Squeakyville, Mighty Robot teams up with Ricky to destroy evil and
they become heroes and close friends.
Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot is another series by the author of Captain
Underpants which is well loved by primary aged boys everywhere. Together
with illustrator Dan Santat, Pilkey has created a colourful, glossy book, full
of fun illustrations, cartoon strips, boy humour, evilness, alien monsters and
flip-o-rama's, that will also appeal to the young Captain Underpants fans.
A thin volume with very short chapters, short
sentences, easy words, craziness and lots of action, Ricky Ricotta will attract beginning and reluctant readers as well
as those who just want a fun fast read.
