ReviewsPraise for the Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot series: "An adventure story with great appeal . . . With barely more text than a long easy-reader, this title will be a heaven-sent choice for kids with reading difficulties." -- School Library Journal "It's easy to see how Pilkey's high-action, easy-reading chapter novel with a comic book feel would appeal to younger readers . . . Silly good fun." -- Kirkus "Newly independent readers and Pilkey fans alike will not be disappointed by this humorous ride." -- School Library Journal "Aimed at a younger audience than the wildly popular Captain Underpants books, this series opener has all the classic Pilkey hallmarks..." -- Booklist
