Goodreads

The third adventure in this food-themed graphic novel series that featured two silly squirrels, Norma & Belly. This latest book in the series will not disappoint young readers who enjoy the crazy antics of the two food-loving squirrels. This time, the two need to get creative to figure out how they can nab a slab of yummy pizza. The illustrations which were created with pencils, sumi brushes, sumi ink, and watercolors are simplistic and whimsical and stand out on the white pages. The format ranges from full-page illustrations to four panels which allows the artwork to take center stage with the text appearing in bubbles. This book could stand on its own, but readers will not want to miss the earlier two books if they are amused with this story. Ideal for children ages 4 to 8, but older readers and even adults will find themselves chuckling and rooting for these two goofy squirrels. A strong graphic novel series for young readers.
