Flying Beaver Brothers series.
In the sixth installment, island-dwelling beavers Ace and Bub compete in a race to win an awesome houseboat. In a scheme to take the lead, the bros accidentally plant an "everything vine," which indeed takes over everything on the Shark Tooth Islands. The speech-balloon text is deadpan, and the dynamic comic-panel illustrations--pen-and-ink with monochromatic digital coloring--feature plenty of onomatopoeic action.

Flying Beaver Brothers series.
Beaver bros Ace and Bub return for a fifth heroic mission. Three entrepreneurial baboons are using "the Easy Breeze" (a giant hair-dryer contraption) to melt Beaver Island's snow for swimming pools--or maybe something more nefarious. The speech-balloon text is deadpan, and the dynamic comic-panel illustrations--pen-and-ink with monochromatic digital coloring--feature plenty of action paired with rollicking onomatopoeia.

Flying Beaver Brothers series.
Beaver brothers Ace and Bub live on Beaver Island, and in these first adventures they step up to save their home from evil resort-building penguins and a mackerel-run factory producing Fish Stix (toys). Humor and wordplay in the speech-bubble text will charm young graphic-novel lovers; comics-style illustrations--with spare lines, digital coloring, and lots of energy--maintain the action. Review covers these Flying Beaver Brothers titles: The Flying Beaver Brothers and the Evil Penguin Plan and The Flying Beaver Brothers and the Fishy Business.
