Before Molly can argue with her mom, they hear BOOM! BOOM! A giant toddler is on the loose!\nMolly watches dumbfounded as Jack picks up cows and plucks airplanes out of the sky all for fun.

This is a giant mess!"\nIn this easy reader comic, Jeffrey Ebbeler has created an entertaining tale about cleaning up after yourself. The variety of panel styles, speech bubbles, and fonts are all perfect for engaging developing readers.\nI Like to Read Comics are created for kids just learning to read. Sequential art and simple text--and a powerful relationship between the two--are the perfect conditions for developing readers.\nFrom School Library Journal\nGr 1-3-Molly's mom implores her to clean up her bedroom, but just as the little girl protests, they get an unexpected visit from an equally messy Jack the Giant, a barefoot, green-skinned child with jug ears and a fuzzy caterpillar unibrow. As the massive toddler wreaks havoc on Molly's town, it's up to her to teach him the value in picking up one's toys, which in Jack's case happen to be freight trains and townspeople. Ebbeler showcases an imaginative and delightfully chaotic spread in comic form. Each panel will captivate young readers, depicting Molly and Jack's adventures from different angles and inspired perspectives. The artist's clever layout and descriptive text ("Boom! Crack!") provide a colorful landscape for beginning readers to devour. Molly and her mother are white, but Ebbeler depicts townspeople in a variety of skin tones. VERDICT A larger-than-life comic adventure that's sure to entertain emergent and newly independent readers.-Claire Moore, Manhattan Beach Lib., CAα(c) Copyright 2011.

Things get squirrely when Jerry discovers that his new town is a sanctuary for were-creatures, humans who turn into animals when the moon is full, in an action-packed romp for younger middle grade readers. Jerry has serious questions about the town his scientist father drags him to: why did they give up traveling the world to settle down in such a strange spot? Why won't his dad talk about his mysterious research or explain what happened to his mother, who disappeared years ago? And when he sees his friend Pearl transform into a were-squirrel under the light of the full moon, he needs to know: were exactly has he ended up? But when criminal mayhem turns Jerry's town--a safe haven for were-creatures--into a not-so-safe haven, Jerry must uncover a twisty conspiracy and take down the instigators who are trying to tear the place that's become his home apart.&nbsp; Packed with twists and turns and filled with vivid black-and-white drawings, Kraken Me Up author Jeffrey Ebbeler's experience as a comics artist translates into dynamic, visual action sequences that even the most reluctant readers won't have to fight their way through. Larger-than-life bad guys and slapstick humor meets a heartfelt exploration of what makes a place home in this page-turner that will leave younger middle grade readers howling for more.
