Mighty Mouse

Mighty Mouse Volume 1: Saving The Day

by Sholly Fisch (Author) and Igor Lima (Artist)

Booktalk: You’re the world’s greatest hero, exiled to another dimension with no way back. Trapped in an alien world, where not even the laws of physics work the way they should. The only person who even believes you exist is a young kid whom no one will listen to. Yet, you’re the shining light that this drab, cynical world needs to restore its color and life. Oh — and you’re a cartoon mouse. Here comes Mighty Mouse to save the day, in his most unexpected adventure yet… right here, in the real world!

Kindergarrrten Bus

Kindergarrrten Bus
by Mike Ornstein (Author) and Kevin M. Barry (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Yo ho ho! It’s the first day of kindergarten. And who better than a pirate captain to drive the bus to school? He’s ready to share all the rules one needs to know to ride the bus and to get along with mates at school. But with the first day of school there also comes a bit of anxiety — and it turns out that being a big, blustery pirate captain is no guarantee against insecure and frightened feelings either. Who can help a rough and tough pirate captain get over his fears and back to driving the school bus?

Snippet: Arrrgh!
Pipe down, ye little landlubbers!
There’ll be no blubberin’ on my bus!
Pirates don’t get scared! We eat bones for supperrr!
And we don’t miss nobody neither!
’Cause we’re rrrough! And we’re tough!
And we ain’t got time for that fluffy stuff!
