Marty Pants series.
Aspiring artist Marty Pants is convinced that his classmate and nemesis Simon is using magic powers to charm everyone from hapless teachers to unsuspecting parents. Readers will chuckle at the many misunderstandings in the madcap plot, which is enhanced by cartoon drawings on every page and lots of physical humor and silliness. This third installment should satisfy series fans and win new ones.

Marty Pants series.
When aspiring artist Marty Pants discovers a page torn from his sister's diary--that says "my brother is a we"--he becomes convinced it means he's a werewolf. The farcical story rockets forward from there, with characters and adventures vividly depicted in both words and cartoons. Once again, Marty's warm heart shines through the high jinks in this second story, which ends on a satisfying note.

Marty Pants series.
Aspiring artist Marty Pants has recently incurred the wrath of his teacher, his parents, and the neighborhood bully, and he believes an alien is stalking him. Cartoon drawings on every page rocket the madcap plot forward with plenty of physical humor and silliness. A solid conclusion about being true to your art adds a bit of unexpected depth to syndicated cartoonist Parisi's series-starter.
