Noodleheads Find Something Fishy

Description

Best-selling author-illustrator TEDD ARNOLD has teamed up with two professional storytellers to create a third comic-style book about the gullible Noodlehead Brothers, Mac and Mac. Mac and Mac deduce that since fish live in schools, they must be smart. The fish in this funny story are smart enough to outwit Mac and Mac! Cousin Meatball also gets the better of them. He convinces the brothers that if they put their snack into a toy boat, the little boat will grow into a big one. It seems to work. Or does it? Then three fish get the boys to feed them worms while avoiding Mac's and Mac's fish hooks. Oh well. Mac and Mac would rather snack on fish crackers and gummy worms anyway! The stories in this book are inspired by traditional folktales referenced in back matter.

MARTHA HAMILTON and MITCH WEISS are the acclaimed storyteller team known as Beauty & the Beast Storytellers. They have won an Irma Simonton Black Award for Excellence in Children's Literature, two Storytelling World Awards, and an Anne Izard Storytellers' Choice Award.

* "The Noodlehead brothers, Mac and Mac, are back in this irresistibly funny graphic novel about misunderstandings and mistakes. . . . Kids will feel like they have the upper hand while also reveling in Mac and Mac's foibles, and they might even learn a thing or two about logical reasoning. Even Mac and Mac learn something by the end, but when it comes down to it, they're still the same old Noodleheads. A must-buy for graphic novel collections."-School Library Journal, Starred Review "Readers will come away with plenty of laughs. The introduction and three short chapters are filled with brightly colored comics panels in Arnold's signature art style. Fans won't want to miss the boat on this one."-Kirkus Reviews
