Amazon.com Review
The Iron Giant meets Clifford the Big Red Dog in Dav Pilkey's Ricky Ricotta's Giant Robot, the first book in an illustrated series for early readers. Ricky is a young mouse who needs a friend, is bullied by schoolmates, and is waiting for something BIG to happen. But he never expected the arrival of anything as big as Dr. Stinky McNasty's giant robot, created by the evil doctor to destroy all of Squeakyville. When the robot refuses to demolish the town, however, Ricky steps up to save it from the ensuing wrath of the maniacal doctor--twice! In some very Clifford-esque perspectives, the friendly iron giant dwarfs Ricky's neighborhood, scares crows (and bullies), and allows Ricky's new friends to ride on his back. In the end children will be satisfied to see the doctor's secret cave detonated by the very electro-rocket he wanted to use on his errant robot, and even more satisfied to see the robot depositing Dr. Stinky McNasty into the city jail. (Ages 6 and older)

5 out of 5 stars happy   July 15, 2008
This book is what I expected. Age appropriate fun games and activities relating to the Ricky Ricotta books. My 7 year old son loves it.


5 out of 5 stars Activity book   September 20, 2007
This is an activity book that goes along with the series. It has trivia questions, mazes, jokes,word scrambles,word searches, codes etc... My 6 year old loves it. It has a section that goes along with each book.


5 out of 5 stars A must read for every young boy.   August 27, 2006
I have purchased this and every book so far in the series for each little guy in my life. They love the books and ask for more each time they finish one. I am glad to give them something that encourages reading and dosn't break the wallet.

I really did not like the book. If I had to give three reasons it would have to be it did not make sense. It was not making sense because there were too many words for one meaning. The book really did not have any meaning .

If I had to pick the worst thing about this book. It would have to be that it was not interesting. All it was about was a robot. I really did not like this book because it had no color.



5 out of 5 stars Great story!!!   January 14, 2003

My 6 year old son's reading level was in between. Not good enough for some books but others that he could read were too babyish. This series is a wonderful compromise. It has the look and feel of the Capt. Underpants which is still out of his reach but so very interesting to him. While driving from Florida to NY state, when given the choice between watching a video or reading he chose to read the Mighty Robot, he's never made that choice on his own before. On top of all this, it is a warm, funny story that appeals to the first grade male population, a great find.
