Three Silly Chicks Review

This titles was reviewed by Three Silly Chicks - Readers, Writers and Reviewers of funny books for kids. www.ThreeSillyChicks.com Leapin' Leptons! Commander Zack Proton is back in a third installment of this illustrated chapter book series featuring a bumbling Inspector Clouseau-type space hero and his brainy primate sidekick, Omega Chimp. Interspersed with comic strips, top-ten lists, quizzes, instructional manuals, and tips for young space heroes, these easy-to-read books provide a smorgasbord of slapstick humor with a side of banana peels. In book three, Commander Zack, Omega Chimp, and their FE-203 robot, "Effie," are detained on their mission to find Zack's missing spaceship, the Risky Rascal, by a disappearing planet, 16 million smelly pigs, and a bad drycleaning incident. But not to worry! In a classic comedy of errors, our space heroes once again save the day and restore peace to the galaxy in a wacky, freshly-scented finale. Introduce this series to your favorite comic book-loving 7 to 10 year-olds, then point them to the "Fun Stuff" at www.ZackProton.com, including printable coloring pages, a Zack proton ad-lib story, and an alien transmission for fans to decode.

Zack Proton does it again!

Are you looking for a book that will have your kids begging to read? Zack Proton is your answer. Zack is still searching for his starship, the Risky Rascal. This time, the search leads to the planet Bounceback. But the planet keeps disappearing. Planets don't just disappear, do they? Sometimes, maybe. Just ask Pluto. (See the humor this guy has?) In this zany third installment of the Zack Proton series, Brian Anderson gives children exactly what they want. With the irreverent humor of Captain Underpants, but minus the bathroom humor, parents will be thrilled to provide this book to their young readers--and the kids will be thrilled to read it. Though my kiddos are still in the read-to stage rather than the read-alone, they love Zack and ask for it again and again. Folks, this is a well-illustrated chapter book. Even my three-year-old will hold still to read the entire thing. But don't be scared off by the fact that young children enjoy this book. It is something the 7-10 crowd will love as well. My nephews will be getting a copy. I'm sure they will eat it up. Armchair Interviews says: What a fun read.
