Noodleheads Do the Impossible (Noodleheads #6)

by Tedd Arnold (Author)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Series: Noodleheads

Do you want to be famous? Mac and Mac do. How? By doing the impossible! You'll laugh out loud at the funny adventures in this comic-style book.

First they decide to walk around the world. But when Mom says it's too far for them to go, they decide to count the stars. They reach a bazillion when they see that some of the stars have fallen into Mom's washtub. Mac and Mac rescue the fallen stars, but then lose count. They decide to count grains of sand instead. Then . . . while counting grains of sand, they realize THEY'VE WALKED AROUND THE WORLD!!!

This sixth book in the Noodleheads graphic novel series is perfect for comic fans and reluctant readers. Short chapters--full of wordplay, jokes, and slapstick humor--follow Mac and Mac through their funny adventures. It is co-written and illustrated by Tedd Arnold, known for his popular Fly Guy series. Based on traditional world folktales and stories of fools, the Noodleheads encourage critical thinking. They invite readers to use their noodles to spot holes in the brothers' grand plans. Source notes by co-authors Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss, professional storytellers known as Beauty and the Beast, provide information about the traditional stories that inspired Mac and Mac's mishaps and give suggestions for further reading.

This easy-to-read series, including the Geisel Honor book Noodleheads See the Future, is an accessible introduction to stories of fools, and a great next read for fans of the Fly Guy books. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

Review quotes

★ Readers younger of age and/or heart will chortle at the Macs' general cluelessness, then cheer them on as they do get 'around the world' just in time for lunch. . . . The little jokes embedded within the large ones are just as delightful, as when Mac and Mac try to figure out how to 'always [put] your best foot forward.' It's not as easy as grown-ups say it is.—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
