Ricky Ricotta, an elementary school student mouse, is smaller than the rest of his classmates and is constantly bullied. That is, until one day Ricky wins the friendship of a gigantic robot by freeing him from the evil scientist who created him. Ricky and his robot then embark on a number of adventures. Personally, I didn't find much of substance in this book, either in content, writing style, or illustration, but I can see the appeal for young readers, particularly boys. It's a short and sweet adventure story that will capture their attention and probably have them clamoring for the next book in the series.

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser02/28/2014I already read and rev...I already read and reviewed this book when my son read it to me as his reader but a few words from my point of view. This is a much simpler read than the Captain Underwear series. Many pages only have one or two sentences of text and the reading level is lower. The story is cuter and at least, so far the humour is not of the toilet variety. The plot however is not simple; there are several instances of rising action before the final climax making for a captivating read. Including the familiar "Flip-o-rama" pages the story relates how Ricky is bullied until he sees the evil Dr. Stinky being mean to a robot. He intercedes and ends up with the robot himself. Then there is the fiasco at home as they try to keep the robot as a pet and finally the return of Dr.Stinky with an evil monster to try and get the robot back. Very fun easy-reader chapter book.ElizaJane

I used to be a snob about Dav Pilkey's books but I've gotten over that :-) My son loves anything by him. He used to take this series out of the library and *look* at it and now he can finally read it. And he read it very well, indeed. This is exactly his reading level. He needed help with about one word per every other page. The story is silly and fun but not babyish, making it very good for struggling older elementary kids. The Flip-o-rama pages work towards his autism. He could sit there all day flipping those pages and he reads on excitedly towards the next Flip section. This book was clean, no toilet jokes, or anything of that nature, cute, fun and exciting with robot vs giant lizard action. Ds had a blast and he'll be reading more while his interest holds for these.

The illustrations in this book is sure to hook readers and there are 1-3 sentences per page. The book is in novel format and gives early or struggling readers confidence. The action packed fiction novel will have boys laughing with Mr. Mosquito as he attempts to invade earth.mmesullivan
