"Ridiculously fun and brilliantly illustrated.” —Dav
Pilkey, creator of Dog Man and Captain Underpants As seen on The
TODAY Show! New York Times bestselling Mac Barnett and Caldecott
Honor award-winning illustrator Shawn Harris turn their massively
popular The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza live cartoon into an
action-packed and hysterical graphic novel series—perfect for
fans of Dav Pilkey, Raina Telgemeier, and Jeff Kinney. A Kids'
Indie Next List Pick, an Indie Bestseller, and a Junior Library
Guild Selection! Something terrible is happening in the skies! Rats
are eating the MOON! There’s only ONE hero for the job, a bold
and fearsome beast bioengineered in a secret lab to be the moon’s
savior and Earth’s last hope! And that hero is . . . a cat. A cat
who will be blasted into space! Accompanied by the imperious Moon
Queen and LOZ 4000, a toenail clipping robot, the First Cat in
Space journeys across a fantastic lunar landscape in a quest to
save the world. Will these unlikely heroes save the moon in
time? Can a toenail-clipping robot find its purpose in the vast
universe? And will the First Cat in Space ever eat some

Everyone's favorite pranksters are at it again! School's out, and
Miles and Niles are running wild in the woods outside town:
climbing trees, exploring caves, and, yes, pranking. But these
leafy, lazy days of mischief darken when bully Josh Barkin and his
cadets from a nearby kids' boot camp discover the merrymakers-and
vow to destroy them. Are our heroes' sharp minds any match for
these hooligans' hard fists? The latest installment of the witty,
on-target illustrated series is another "fast paced, laugh-out-loud
novel" (School Library Journal) that proves once again that, in the
hands of the powerless, pranks can be tools of justice-plus,
they're funny.
Early one morning a mouse met a wolf and was quickly gobbled up...When a woeful mouse is swallowed up by a wolf, he quickly learns he is not alone: a duck has already set up digs and, boy, has that duck got it figured out! Turns out it's pretty nice inside the belly of the beast - there's delicious food, elegant table settings and, best of all, dancing. And there's something more: no more fear of being eaten by a wolf! Life's not so bad, considering the alternatives. That is, until a hunter shows up... With a nod to traditional fables and a wink to the reader, the award-winning Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen of Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, Extra Yarn and Triangle offer a tale of cooperation and creative cuisine that is sure to go down easy.
A tender, funny tale celebrating all forms of love from
award-winning and bestselling author-illustrator duo Mac Barnett

that," his grandmother says, and so the boy goes out into the world
to find out. But while each person he meets-the fisherman, the

quite right. Could love really be a fish, or applause, or the
night? Or could it actually be something much closer to home? A

KIDS AS WELL AS PARENTS WILL ENJOY: This book begins from the
