About This Book

You'll laugh out loud when Mac and Mac try to hatch a kitten. . . out of a watermelon. This easy-to-read intro to graphic novels is perfect for "fans of all things goofy" according to School Library Journal. Twin brothers Mac and Mac are soooo lucky. How lucky are they? When they get hit on the head with an acorn, they're lucky that little acorns and not big watermelons grow on trees. When their frenemy Meatball gives them a bag full of bees, they're lucky that Mom has just built a beehive to pu

Our Review

This graphic novel introduces beginning readers to the hilarious world of Mac and Mac, two noodle-headed brothers whose literal thinking leads to wonderfully absurd adventures. When their friend Meatball gives them a bag of bees, they consider themselves fortunate that their mother conveniently built a beehive, and their attempt to hatch a kitten from a watermelon showcases their uniquely creative problem-solving. The simple panel layouts and clear speech bubbles make this an accessible entry point into graphic storytelling for emerging readers.

What makes this book stand out is how it transforms everyday misunderstandings into pure comedy gold, appealing directly to kids who love physical humor and ridiculous scenarios. The brothers' complete lack of common sense creates a running joke that will have young readers both laughing at their antics and feeling smarter by comparison. Fans of goofy characters and visual gags will find themselves eagerly turning pages to see what these noodleheads misunderstand next.
