Dan Santat.
Ricky Ricotta has a whole new look in these repackaged editions. The intrepid mouse still vanquishes neighborhood bullies, but now the slight plots are accompanied by original full-color digital art by Santat. With several "flip-o-rama" animation pages and comic-book sequences embedded in the stories, reluctant readers will appreciate chapter books that are easy to get through. Review covers these titles: Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot vs. the Mecha-Monkeys from Mars, Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot vs. the Mutant Mosquitoes from Mercury, and Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot vs. the Voodoo Vultures from Venus.
