BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – ESSENTIAL  

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH  

Mac and Mac are two noodleheads who decide to go fishing.  Because they are noodleheads, their heads are empty and they make brainless mistakes such as trying to walk through two trees with a fishing pole.  When the pole won’t fit instead of moving it another way, they decide to break it in half, which causes problems when the go fishing.  They also encounter other mistakes while trying to go fishing but in the end they felt like they learned some lessons.  

This story is told completely through dialogue bubbles and is formatted with multiple frames per page that illustrate and add to the story.  My two boys (3rd and 4th grade) thought this book was hilarious.  The illustrations are fun and their mistakes are humorous.  I think this will be a big hit.
