The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs! (Doodle Adventures #1)

by Mike Lowery (Author)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Draw your way through the story!  Doodle Adventures: The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs! is a lighthearted fantasy where the reader first draws him- or herself into the story, and then continues by following prompts and adding more illustrations and doodles.

Set in space, the book invites the reader to join Carl, a duck and member of a super-secret international group of explorers, on a journey in search of a very important grail-like object. The book is sturdy paper over board with beautiful cream paper--perfect for defacing! And by the end, the reader will have co-written a tale to return to again and again, and show off to family and friends.

This book is currently unavailable.

ALA/Booklist

The clever idea is... an engaging concept executed with a fast-paced story and a loose, doodle-like art style that won't intimidate burgeoning amateur artists.

Review quotes

"Kids will love making this story their own, and it may well hook a new crop of readers who haven't yet experienced the joy of fully engaging with a book." —Shelf Awareness

"It's right in my boy's (and, I suspect, lots of other kid artists') wheelhouse — the combo of a graphic novel with the ability to draw yourself into the story." —Brightly

"It is engaging, fun, hilarious, and completely perfect in so many ways. We need a lot more books like this. It's like it is sprayed with Reluctant-Reader-and-Writer-Be-Gone." —The Picture Book Review

"...it was a blast.This is something kids will be proud to share with family and friends." —iddle Grade Mafia
