AAAA! A FoxTrot Kids Edition (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $7.69)
AAAA! That’s the sound heard often from the Fox siblings as only sister Paige discovers Quincy the iguana has eaten her homework, older brother Peter applies permanent marker on his face drawing a fake goatee, and younger brother and expert video gamer Jason loses to Paige.
Throw in the AAAAs as mother Andy exclaims while dodging thrown balls in the house and backyard-grilling disaster dad Roger blows up another grill, and you have the perfect equation for a family that every kid can relate to.
Including cartoons from previously published books, this kid-targeted book portrays a not so typical look at how a year unfolds in the Fox family.
The Birth of Canis: A Get Fuzzy Collection (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $7.99)
Bucky, Satchel, and Rob are back for more madness and mayhem. And the world couldn’t be happier! Darby Conley’s previous titles include two New York Times best-sellers.
Bucky Katt is a rather obstinate Siamese who constantly battles his “owner” Rob for control of their home. Satchel Pooch, the Labrador-Shar-pei mix who’s sweet and lovable, makes a nice lackey for Bucky. Bucky knows he’s smarter than everyone else; it’s just a matter of convincing the rest of the world.
Satchel always tries to do the right thing but very often ends up the brunt of Bucky’s antics. Rob Wilco is a bachelor trying to regain household domesticity. Together, this seemingly typical threesome gets into some less-than-typical but hilarious situations. There’s never a dull moment at the Wilco residence.
Get Fuzzy, featured in over 650 newspapers worldwide, is one of the most highly lauded cartoons in the country. The National Cartoonists Society named it Best Comic Strip of 2002. Its sidesplitting humor and hilariously illustrated facial nuances appeal to animal lovers everywhere. Bucky and Satchel’s words and expressions are what we all picture our beloved pets saying and doing.
Simon’s Cat in Kitten Chaos (5/5 stars, currently priced at $6.39)
Half the size, double the trouble. Simon’s cat has a new little friend who may be even more accident prone!
With over 200 million hits on YouTube, Simon’s Cat is a genuine word-of-mouth phenomenon. Fans from all over the world have fallen for this adorable but anarchic feline who will do just about anything to be fed. Simon Tofield’s beautiful drawings and warm humor come alive on the page in this irresistible humor book—an outgrowth of the enormously popular short films featured on YouTube.
Like all great cartoon creations, from Peanuts to Asterix, from Garfield to Tintin, Simon’s Cat has continued to evolve by introducing new characters and new story lines. After the runaway success of the first two books (Simon’s Cat and Simon’s Cat: Beyond the Fence), Simon welcomes a cuddly new addition to the family in the form of Simon’s Kitten, who is sure to delight Simon’s millions of fans.
Baby Blues: This Is Going To Be Harder Than We Thought (5/5 stars, currently priced at $9.99)
One Amazon reviewer says:
“We got this for our 12 year old son who is a big Baby Blues fan. It is fun to “go back to the beginning” – even with one kid these are hilarious. And I find myself reading it, too!”
