AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Mac and Mac are two noodles who want to feel their heads with knowledge.  They go to the library and check out a book of jokes and a book called The Fortress of Doom.  The two noodles tell each other jokes while they build their own fortress in the backyard, but Meatball comes over and engages the noodles in a contest.  Meatball wins the fortress.  

My boys think the Noodlehead books are funny.  The silly play on words reminds me of Amelia Bedelia because of the play on words and amusing misunderstandings.  The illustrations are engaging and in a graphic novel style.  

Reviewer, C. Peterson.
