Reviews
The Noodleheads' goofy schemes and over-the-top reactions to their situations are sure to elicit giggles as the stories unfold in comics-style panels ('I'll eat the pie and you eat the pan, ' suggests one of the Macs in the second tale). Arnold employs some of his signature visual flourishes to great effect, including bug-eyed characters and an in-your-face palette. . . . the punchy storytelling and all-around goofiness will entertain emerging readers and graphic novel fans.--Publisher's Weekly Anthropomorphic noodles worry and fret over a series of bedtimes and bad dreams. Mac and Mac are two noodleheads, literally: they are noodle-shaped boys with nothing inside their heads. . . . Short chapters with large, brightly hued panels and spacious speech bubbles make this an easy choice for emerging readers. Fans of Arnold's previous work, particularly his Fly Guy series, will recognize his trademark artistic style and gravitate toward this.--Kirkus Reviews Like other famous fools, Mac and Mac make decisions that land them in trouble, and when they try to resolve the problem, their unique brand of logic doesn't quite work. . . . This modern take on the foolish folktale is full of goofy humor; great fun for newly independent readers and graphic novel newbies. --School Library Journal
