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.
