Stone Rabbit series.
Stone Rabbit and friends create a fleet of robotic teddy bear workers to help them construct their parade float. A frantic spin on the familiar "Sorcerer's Apprentice" story line ensues when the lead bots get out of control. Colorful cartoon illustrations and bold font are ideal for new graphic-novel readers. It's all half-baked, but series fans won't be disappointed. Glos.

Stone Rabbit and his friends use a pair of cursed dice and are transported inside a Dungeons & Dragons–esque game where they must defeat fantastical enemies to escape. This seventh entry has its predecessors' frenzied feel, but gamers may delight in the story, and action sequences, expressive characters, and bright colors will win over the young comics-loving crowd.

Stone Rabbit and friends return in a Halloween adventure. An atomic lamp interacts with dust, creating rampaging dust bunnies. This graphic novel features potty humor and breakneck action and is bound to appeal to graduates of the Captain Underpants books. The frantic illustrations are busy and the gross-out humor is dumb, but young comics fans won't mind. Glos.

In their fifth adventure, Stone Rabbit and his friends step up to defend Grandpa Tortoise's pizza place from new competition, a pizza shop called Ninja Slice with a "shadow warrior cooking staff." Ninja fighting sequences and bold-hued illustrations bolster the graphic novel's thin story line. Series fans may not mind the volume's sometimes illogical full-speed-ahead action. Glos.

A comic book combined with a virtual-reality machine transforms Stone Rabbit and his friends into superheroes. The gang then faces off against a group of villains. Eye-catching (if frantic) illustrations, frenetic humor, cartoon violence--and a positive message about friendship combine in this fourth entry in the comical graphic novel series. Glos.

In Stone Rabbit's third adventure, evil alien Melvin the Plutarkian assumes the bunny's identity, leaving SR to face trial for Melvin's crimes while he ravages Earth. Luckily, our hero's gaming skills save the day. Colorful action sequences and humorous characters create an engaging read, though the frantic adventures can be hard to navigate across the graphic novel's panels.

These entertaining graphic novels star an adventurous rabbit, first traveling through time to a prehistoric world populated by dinosaurs (Mambo), then tangling with a pirate curse (Palooza). Both of the quick-moving adventures are filled with humor and danger, though the books' frantic narrative style, with busy illustrations to match, may induce whiplash. Review covers these Stone Rabbit titles: BC Mambo and Pirate Palooza.
