What an excellent comic style book to encourage team work.
I read this to my 5 and 7 year old and they absolutely loved it. This is my favorite book in the series to date! Not all of them have a good moral so I really appreciate that this one does.
The book explores what happens when two people don’t work together and what gets accomplished when they do. It’s a great example for kids to learn from!
An interesting layer between reader and story - the adventures of Super Rabbit Boy and Mole Girl are within a video game, and the players of the game (siblings Sunny and Rue) are sometimes seen playing the game, causing success or mishap in the game world.
The two players, and their avatars, must learn to work with one another and not let pride get in the way of having fun or vanquishing a common foe, represented here by the level bosses. The characters of the game are learning this in a story that would stand on its own, but they are simply mirroring the actions and emotion of the players, a representation of their growth.
I don't know if I've ever read a book intended for 1st-2nd graders at a moderately advanced reading levels that so easily introduces metatextual framing and author surrogates?
What a great addition to the series! My son (7) and I read it together last night before bedtime. He thinks that the mom in the story acts just like me lol. Which tickles him to no end. I really appreciate how the house in this series looks like a messy house. Like a lived in house. Like a boy newly learning how to clean up lives here house. It's a lot of fun and a good choice for kiddos who like gaming, super heroes, villains and the like.
This is my go to series that I always recommend to reluctant readers who are transitioning over to chapter books. A brother and sister are playing a video game together and there is conflict between them and also between the two characters that they are playing in the video game. There's a good message about teamwork in this book. Young readers will love the colorful and video game look to the illustrations.
In the framing sequence, the brother and sister need to work together in order to get their in-game character Super Rabbit Boy and Mega Mole Girl to work together.
I like video game action stories, but, tbh, I thought the plot of this story was gonna be like that in book 8, Super Rabbit Boy All-Stars, where he teams up with the characters to beat the bad guys, which luckily you made up for in this book. So dilemma solved.
