Summary: Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot Series
Review: Dave Pilkey has made my son a reader.
Struggling with a learning disability, my seven year old boy felt pressured to be reading chapter books like his friends were. Pilkey and Oliveros saved the day.
The genre is one a boy can really get behind. The illustrations are wonderful, and narrative enough in nature to help a struggling reader.
Flip-o-rama (page to page animation)is just cheesey enough to make it cool.
The only other thing I would ask for is more books in the series. Get Super Diaper Baby while you're waiting, and Captain Underpants after that. They are the most read books in my child's library.

Summary: Great "Get Them Reading" Books!
Review: My daughter's first grade teacher read some of these books aloud to her class at the end of the school year. She talked about them all summer! This from a child who seems to hate reading. Her teacher wanted them reading 'chapter' books by the beginning of second grade and these are great books to start with. There are alot of funny illustrations to cue the child into figuring out words they may not know, but plenty of challenging age appropriate words to keep parents happy. You and your child will feel good about these books.

Summary: Great starter for chapter books!
Review: This is a great set of books for children who are past the "easy" reading books and need to move on, but not at chapter book level. My son loves this series. He couldn't put it down and laughed through them. I wish there were more Ricky Ricotta's books written. Highly recommended!
