Meet Ricky Ricotta. He's an ordinary mouse with ordinary problems-sometimes he gets picked on at school and feels a bit lonely. Then, one day, a giant flying Robot enters his life! The evil Dr Stinky has created the Robot to try to destroy Squeakyville. But the Robot doesn't want to harm the mice, and he tries to escape his conniving creator. Thing is, he can't-not without Ricky's help, that is...Together, Ricky and the Robot must defeat Dr Stinky and save the city!

Ricky Ricotta is a nice little mouse-boy growing up in Squeakyville. He is lonely, and hopes one day to make a big friend. When an evil scientist, Dr. Stinky, creates a giant robot to destroy Squeakyville, it rebels. Ricky rescues the robot from Dr. Stinky, and together they must protect the world!
This book is great! The drawings are black-and-white, but are quite funny, and go along great with the story, which is hilarious! My eight-year-old son picked out this book (he's into robots right now), and loved it. The book contains some "Flip-o-rama" pages, where you rapidly flip the pages back and forth and watch the somewhat-animated cartoon, which we both thought was pretty cool. The text is pretty short, and not challenging to him, but he nonetheless loved this book. We highly recommend this book.

Every boy should read this!!!!!

It is very hard to find books for little boys (starting readers), that are page turners. We slogged through the "the - wheels - turn- around - and - around" books. You know the ones with a large picture and some repetitive sentence on each page. Never mind my son, I thought even I had ADD. But we read this book in one go. That had never happened before. He is now checking out each book store for the sequel. Dave Pilkey rules!!!!

One again, thank you Dav! Ricky R is the "breakthrough" book for my reluctant reader 6 year old son. For the first time, he could not stop reading a book and was proud to have finished a chapter book. Attention all elementary school librarians who will not put "Captain Underpants" in libraries because of the toilet talk...give Ricky R a try and all the parents of little boys will be grateful! While this book does not have the same level of wit as Captain Underpants, it is really geared to a younger reader. My son thought it was a riot!

Robot to the rescue!

Thank you, Dav, for providing us with a new series of books to look forward to. When my children were little, I made it a habit to read all books prior to giving them to my children to read, to make sure they were appropriate. I do the same for my grandchildren now. I fell in love with Captain Underpants and the Dumb Bunnies, and now I have Ricky Ricotta and his giant robot to look forward to. My 5-year old grandchild, who will start school this September, loves this new book. He was absolutely fascinated with the illustrations, and has spent many hours copying the pictures of Ricky and the robot. He says that when he starts school if someone starts to bully him, he will remember how Ricky handled it and not be afraid. Keep up the good work, Mr. Pilkey and Mr. Ontiveros. Kids today need these kinds of heroes.
