Gr 3-6–Smart but grouchy Catwad and dumb but cheerful Blurmp return for another collection of brief comic vignettes. Featuring physical comedy and ridiculous circumstances, these stories will appeal to fans of joke books. Topics covered include arts and crafts, monsters, salad, robots, costume parties, and more. Kudos to Catwad for realizing that the library is the place to go to rectify ignorance. Benton’s artwork is filled with bold colors and manic energy, which matches the zany story lines.
VERDICT This series is like Pinky and the Brain for a new generation, and those who enjoyed the first book will definitely want to read this one.
