This amusing graphic novel for early readers tells the story of Marco, a talking sandwich, and a pair of dance enthusiasts in the form of squirrels. When Marco makes a sandwich and it comes to life, he is delighted to have an amazing new buddy. But when the squirrels that live in the backyard snatch Sandwich, they challenge Marco and his dog Poofy to fight them to get him back in the only way that makes sense: a dance battle. 

As absurd and hilarious as expected with plenty of food humor that will make both kids and adults laugh out loud. Serve to young elementary students who enjoy similar fare.
