GoComics Book Club: Skip School, Fly to Space by Stephan Pastis
by GoComicsGoComics Book Club keeps you in-the-know about books for all ages, relating to your favorite comics and authors!
You might skip school, but don't skip this third collection of Pearls Before Swine cartoons especially picked for kids!
Hokey lessons and ancient textbooks are no match for a good Rockitt Shipp, kids. The poorly behaved cast of Pearls Before Swine invites you to a magical world filled with silly talking animals and mostly bald humans.
There's Rat, a master of evil. Pig, who seems to be made to suffer - it's his lot in life. And while the braindead Crocs unsuccessfully hunt poor Zebra, the wise (and noted loser) Goat looks on in disapproving horror.
So take a homework break and prep the hyperdrive for light speed ... It's another hilarious Pearls kids collection!
Check out these reviews of previous Pearls AMP! Comics for Kids books:
"The comic epitome of dry humor, sarcastic animals, and grim undertones returns in a new collection focusing on the ever-hungry and ever-unsuccessful crocodiles and their unending quest to eat something other than fried chicken." - via San Francisco Book Review
"Those who read Pearls in installments will enjoy entire story arcs contained within a few pages, as well as the build-up to larger jokes that you might miss if you were reading the series in the newspaper. Known for making adults laugh out loud, Pearls Before Swine's trademark dry humor and grim undertones are not necessarily watered down for this juvenile collection, making it suitable for newcomers and die-hard fans of all ages." - via No Flying No Tights
