Summary: Robot to the rescue!
Comment: Thank you, Dav, for providing us with a new series of books to look forward to. When my children were little, I made it a habit to read all books prior to giving them to my children to read, to make sure they were appropriate. I do the same for my grandchildren now. I fell in love with Captain Underpants and the Dumb Bunnies, and now I have Ricky Ricotta and his giant robot to look forward to. My 5-year old grandchild, who will start school this September, loves this new book. He was absolutely fascinated with the illustrations, and has spent many hours copying the pictures of Ricky and the robot. He says that when he starts school if someone starts to bully him, he will remember how Ricky handled it and not be afraid. Keep up the good work, Mr. Pilkey and Mr. Ontiveros. Kids today need these kinds of heroes.

Summary: A great book for early male readers
Comment: At age 7, my son had mastered the basics of reading and refused to touch those step into reading books anymore because he thought they were boring. This book is great for readers who are in the transition of stepping up to chapter books. It is an easy,and interesting enough a book that my son can, and wants to, read it by himself in bed. While he loved Captain Underpants, he found many of the words and concepts (like "reverse psychology") a little difficult to grasp alone so that book needed adult help. Ricky Ricotta gave him confidence because he could easily read it ,and yet it wasn't a "baby" book. I also find that most early chapter books are written with the female reader in mind. This one isn't.

Summary: Great story!!!
Comment: My 6 year old son's reading level was in between. Not good enough for some books but others that he could read were too babyish. This series is a wonderful compromise. It has the look and feel of the Capt. Underpants which is still out of his reach but so very interesting to him. While driving from Florida to NY state, when given the choice between watching a video or reading he chose to read the Mighty Robot, he's never made that choice on his own before. On top of all this, it is a warm, funny story that appeals to the first grade male population, a great find.
