The Creature Department

329 pp. | Penguin/Razorbill | November, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59514-685-4 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Elliot and Leslie are invited to visit Elliot's uncle Archie at tech firm DENKi-3000's Research and Development facility. The children discover that the workers are bizarre yet friendly creatures who need help building a fantastic invention to save the department. The oddball creatures, madcap antics, gross-out humor, and animated black-and-white illustrations (by a visual effects studio) create a welcoming Saturday-morning-cartoon feel.
