(4) 1-3 Icky Ricky series. From writing his homework upon slices of cheese to searching in a mucky trash-filled pond for a lost remote-controlled car, Ricky has elaborate and gross excuses for every crazy predicament he falls into. Each chapter is its own absurdist story, featuring egg-filled piñatas, watermelon helmets, and hairy hot dogs. Rex's black-and-white cartoons add to the book's (mildly amusing) messiness.
