Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3-Pilkey bridges the gap between his picture books and "Captain Underpants" series (Scholastic) with this entry about Ricky the mouse and his mechanical pal. Here, the duo battle extraterrestrial insects and an evil robot. In addition to telling an amusing story, the author also manages to squeeze in factoids about the planet Mercury, Flip-O-Rama animation, and cartooning lessons, though these may prove difficult for the targeted audience. Ontiveros's black-and-white cartoons enhance the humor and action, and the layout breaks the text into manageable chunks for new readers. This series may not be as popular as Pilkey's earlier titles, but Ricky will garner young fans of his own.

Another winner
Again another excellent and fun book by Dave Pilkey. Great for early readers to read all on their own and to read to younger children, especially those who enjoy the Captain Underpants stories. An excellent book for children to learn that reading is fun.
A Whole Bunch of Laughter and Fun
If your child (or you) are a fan of Dav Pilkey and his silliness, this book will not disappoint. It's full of nonsense and fun! A great way to keep your child reading.
Franks's Fan
This was an okay book.I first picked up this book because I am a fan of Dav Pilkey, and the Captain Underpants series.However, there were a few things about this book that I did not like. 1.The text was way to simple.
2.There were more pictures than words. I woud recomond this book to anyone in the 4-6 age level. 7-etc. why don't you stick with Captain Underpants for the time being.
