1-3Press Start! series.
In these early chapter books, Super Rabbit Boy is unaware he exists within a video game. Bright pixelated illustrations mimic video-game play, but the books occasionally pull back to reveal the child controlling the game in more cartoony scenes. This general conceit of a story within a story following video-game conventions will appeal to young gamers and encourage independent reading. Review includes these Press Start titles: Game Over, Super Rabbit Boy! and Super Rabbit Boy Powers Up!.
