Goodreads
The fun and randomness of the time traveling two-headed chicken is back in the third graphic novel in this series. Their archnemesis, a shape-shifting moose, is still after them, eager to catch them so he can fry them! To escape, they travel to the cosmic library, where they jump in and out of (parodies of) beloved children’s books like Winnie the Pooh, Charlotte’s Web, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and more. The graphic novel is completely absurd, which will no doubt appeal to readers who gravitate to humorous books. The colors are bold and vibrant and help to create the fun energy and quick pace of this book. Readers do get small breaks along the way as they encounter mazes, quizzes, seek and finds, and drawing activities throughout this book. Given the large text and crazy content, this series is best suited for elementary school readers. Readers who enjoyed the first two graphic novels in this series will certainly devour this one as well.
