The Chronicles of Meap (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) Book

This is a Cybils '10 nominee and as a panelist for Graphic Novels this is required reading for me.

Much better than the first volume. This time the book is devoted to one story. The boys are playing with their latest invention and accidentally cause a space ship to crash. Out comes the cutest little alien you ever saw who only says "meap!". Candace thinks it's one of the latest Japanese kawaii toys her brothers have teched out and takes it to a convention. Meanwhile Agent P (Perry Platypus) is investigating why Dr. Doffenshmirtz has carpeted his entire headquarters inside and out! Eventually the two stories merge and we have a fun, exciting plot. Lots of funny moments and a cute story. I've never seen this cartoon but from this example I think it's one I'd like. I love the scene where Candace receives her new toy in the mail, the latest Japanese sensation (similar to a Build-a-Bear only you cross different animals together) . Her friend crossed a bunny and a bear and it sooo kawaii (cute). Candace is very excited to see her already named Senor Frowg, a cross between a frog and a cow, and what comes out of the box can only be described as mutant; it's hilarious!
