The Croc Ate My Homework : A Pearls Before Swine Collection

Gr 3-7-A follow-up to the first collection of the creator's Pearls Before Swine comics (Andrew McNeels, 2013), this entry will no doubt provide laughs for middle grade fans of his "Timmy Failure" books (Candlewick). This second work focuses on the Croc family and their seemingly never ending attempts to hunt familiar characters Zebra, Rat, Pig, and Goat. Like Wile E. Coyote's infinite quest after the Roadrunner, the Crocs try, and fail, to get by on their less-than-stellar smarts. The bright, full-color strips full of puns and sarcasm will delight kids with snarky and irreverent sense of humor. On par with the jokes in Lincoln Peirce's wildly popular "Big Nate" series (HarperCollins), this title will make a welcome, and well-circulated addition to any library hoping to expand its graphic novel collection for tweens.-John Trischitti, Midland County Public Libraries, TX (c) Copyright 2012.
