mash-ups
ROMANS VS. DINOSAURS ON MARS: DRAW YOUR OWN ADVENTURE by Nikalas Catlow and Tim Wesson (Nosy Crow 2011) is a GN in the vein of the Captain Underpants series by Dav Pilkey. Lots of humor and word play abound as our story unfolds. Meet Maximus Victorious, Clawdius, and the rest of the cast of characters who are trying to prevent the destruction of Mars from the giant asteroid hurtling toward it from space. As the reader turns pages, she or he is encouraged to add details to each illustration. Absurd? You bet! Funny? That, too. Add to it a chance to contribute your own art, and you have a winner. <30>
