Draw your way through the story!

Doodle Adventures: The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs! is a lighthearted fantasy where the reader first draws him- or herself into the story, and then continues by following prompts and adding more illustrations and doodles. Set in space, the book invites the reader to join Carl, a duck and member of a super-secret international group of explorers, on a journey in search of a very important grail-like object. The book is sturdy paper over board with beautiful cream paper—perfect for defacing! And by the end, the reader will have co-written a tale to return to again and again, and show off to family and friends.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The clever idea is... an engaging concept executed with a fast-paced story and a loose, doodle-like art style that won't intimidate burgeoning amateur artists." —Booklist

"Kids will love making this story their own, and it may well hook a new crop of readers who haven't yet experienced the joy of fully engaging with a book." —Shelf Awareness

"It's right in my boy's (and, I suspect, lots of other kid artists') wheelhouse -- the combo of a graphic novel with the ability to draw yourself into the story." —Brightly

"It is engaging, fun, hilarious, and completely perfect in so many ways. We need a lot more books like this. It's like it is sprayed with Reluctant-Reader-and-Writer-Be-Gone." —The Picture Book Review

"...it was a blast.This is something kids will be proud to share with family and friends." —iddle Grade Mafia

Fun but came with some pages already drawn on
My kids (6 and 9) really liked it! But it was probably a return bc it came with some goes already drawn on. :/ thankfully we were able to erase the colored pencil.

My son (7) loves this book series. We are about to start book 3 so my only wish is that there were more in the series.

And an unexpected benefit - my son can read on his own but never did. After starting this book series he started reading books frequently. I was surprised and so excited to see that change!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun engaging book to get kids reading and writing

As soon as I gave this book to my 7 year old son he spent the rest of the day reading through it and drawing and writing new parts of the story. It’s a perfect mix of creative thinking and reading comprehension for kids that’s actually fun and engaging. I highly recommend it. The only downside is that there are only 2 more books (that I could find) in this series and they have not been easy to get.

This gets my kids at age 6 and 8 to draw. My 8 year old already loves to color and draw. But my 6 year old I have to really push him to get him to draw and color. Not with this book. I love seeing my kids imagination grow and see what they put in the book. I highly recommend this book for others.

I bought for my 8 yr old daughter to encourage drawing. It worked like a charm. She went way past the assigned weekly pages. When finished, she asked for book number two. She is almost finished that one and asking for book 3. This series brings on all kinds of giggles. She reads the pages to anyone who will listen. I would recommend for any reading age up through 13.

My 7 year old son loves this book. It tells you at the start to doodle in it, and it’s really fun to go through it and see what he draws. He was also proud of what he made, and showed grandma the book he helped make! There’s a pizza pirate one from the same author that is just as great.

Das Buch sollte ein Geschenk werden für einen 8 Jährigen Jungen zum Geburtstag in den USA. Das Geschenk war der Hit! Vor allem sind diese Bücher wohl gerade bei den jungen Amerikanern zurzeit voll im Trend.
