YUM FEST! Food! Friends! Rides! This book took me back to when I use to go to the Santa Clara County Fair when I was a child; all the fun things to see and do. Mom would always let us get steak sandwiches with grilled bell peppers and onions - still remember how good they were! Sorry to have digressed; this is a fun book with wonderful characters!

Graphic Novel
Early Reader Level 2
Nugget and Dog are back for more adventures. This time they thwart Dijon's plans to ruin Yum Fest by turning sweet characters evil. They implement K.E.T.C.H.U.P to save others and return characters to their lovable selves. The artwork is fun to study and the humor comes through clearly. Lower to mid elementary level readers will appreciate the message and the humor.
