Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for the Ricky Ricotta series:"This reboot... offer[s] a new generation of readers a fun introduction to chapter books... Newly independent readers and Pilkey fans alike will not be disappointed by the humorous ride." --School Library Journal"Aimed at a younger audience than the wildly popular Captain Underpants books, this series... has all the classic Pilkey hallmarks: comic book panels, superhero action, and flip-o-rama." --Booklist

From the Back Cover

Having a really big best friend isn't always big fun...

Ricky Ricotta loves his Mighty Robot, but sometimes it's hard to have such a big buddy! If only the Mighty Robot could find someone his own size to play with, Ricky might finally have some fun by himself. Little does Ricky know, his wish is about to come true. Evil Uncle Unicorn is hatching a hideous plan to take over Earth, and he's got a supersized surprise for Ricky and his Robot.


Featuring Flip-O-Rama!
Flip the pages to animate the action!

Plus: All-new mini comics inside!

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books - the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.

    In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.

    The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children's, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.

    His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.

    Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Series of books - My grandson really likes them -
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019
Verified Purchase
And I like them too. I learned about this series when visiting family and saw that my 6 yr old grandson had two (of the 9) books in the series. His mother liked them as they didn't have offensive words (like fart and poop and snot and other stuff that so many young people's books seem to have these days. It is male-centered in a world (it seems) of books geared to girls these days -- and the male-figure ones are outlandish in wording and bodily-function jokes. The main character is a boy mouse and the adventures are fun for young boys who want to be a hero of sorts in a simple life. The Mighty Robot is the hero but his owner is 'the little boy mouse'. Fun for adults to read out loud and many simple words so young readers can want to read them too. At first my grandson was disappointed that the 'new' books were a reprint edition of the ones he had but then he realized that the pages were thicker, the graphics cooler and now he wants new books of the two he already had (which he found a a used books store/thrift store). Even the older edition books he read at the library had torn pages (thin newsprint pages). So he agreed the new books would work out just fine. He was super surprised that his grandmother was able to find all the books he was missing (the other 7) and they arrived a few days into her trip - lots of time left to read them all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful chapter books!
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015

My 9 year-old third grader has been looking for "chapter" books within his reading level. He is very interested in his older brothers old books but is not yet ready (Diary of a Wimpy kid, Captain Underpants etc.). These were recommended to me by a friend and I decided to give them a try. I went on AR finder and checked the reading level and immediately ordered a few. He has not put these books down since they arrived. He is your typical boy- loves the outdoors, trucks, video games and so on. He was so excited that he has been showing extended family members his new chapter books. After reading a few pages he will excitedly tell me different things that are happening in the stories. I love that he can take these to school and take AR quizzes and keep them in our home library to read again later. If you have a 3rd grader that is not yet ready for "chapter" books, you will not be disappointed with these.

My visually challenged child can read the words, and it’s a chapter book.
I’m so glad the author spells the words correctly. Mr. Pilkey, if you ever read this, I want you to know that my kid reads your books and loves them. I appreciate that the words are big enough for a child who is legally blind to read, but would appreciate it if he would recognize that kids his age who only read Pilkey books eventually become horrible spellers.

It was really funny, it was short but good, and i love DAV pilkey so that is why I got this book. The flip-o-ramas weren't good because I read it on a kindle but they would probably be good as a real book.

My 6 yo son is becoming an avid reader. He loves these books and was so excited when I bought him the rest of the series. We had the first two that I scoped up about a year ago when a book store was closing. He will sit down and read these books and share his favorite parts with me. These are great for young readers!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2013

My kids get so excited each time we get a new one in the series. The messages of these books are always great - kind and empowering for children. The humor is sweet - gives parents a chuckle and it's just the right thing to see your child explode with laughter. My kindergartener (and now first grader) is able to read quite a bit of it on his own as well, and they love to just look at them on their own. These are just perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great books for transitioning from picture books to chapter books!
Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2020

My son is 11, and has truly struggled with reading. His autism tends to shine more with numbers than words, and his teachers haven't always had the time or patience to work with him one-on-one. Now that he's in a new school and community class, with full support, he's beginning to catch on...BUT, it's not always easy to find easy-reading books that are also engaging enough to keep his interest. The Ricky Ricotta books are just that. He loves reading them to his dad and I, as well as really, deeply studying the illustrations for story details. His teacher loves that he brings them to school, too. These books have honestly been a sanity-saver for all of us.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 22, 2009

I have not read this book but recommend it nonetheless as it is one of the first books that my 10 year old has ever actually wanted to read. Reading is a big chore for him - he hates it, and I find this so depressing cos I have made the effort to have so many different books available over the years.

But he actually likes this series! He wants them all, but some of the prices on Amazon are silly, so we just got 2, and he read them straight away and had finished both within the hour.
