This vibrant anthology varies in style from author to author, but a distinct framework is created by their irreverent humor. Many of the stories are grounded in reality while others are grounded in the fantastical.
Dav Pilkey fans will be tickled to read about the rivalry that George and Harold instill between their newest superhero, Dog Man and his nemesis Petey the Cat. In this “graphic novella” the universal theme of determination in the face of evil is presented in a way that fans of Captain Underpants will recognize and find hysterical.
In the story, “Jiminy Sprinkles in Freeze Tag” readers are exposed to the universal theme of accepting others for who they are. In this story, a talking cupcake becomes friends with a peanut called Goober.
