Description

Being a perfectionist has the tendency to slow me down, or puts me off writing completely for months on end. It interrupts the creative flow. So, I applaud Pilkey for teaching kids early on not to worry so much about failing. I believe this message will give kids the confidence they need in their creativity, in a time when imagination is scarce and--in some cases--discouraged.

Monster Cheese Sandwich is a comic that which is a bit similar to the Gingerbread Man, due to some events in the two of them making them sound almost the same. Melvin writes a comic all about his sister, Naomi and her perspective, with the formatting being like a song. Three baby frogs attended the police academy where they study, learning the art of Kung-Fu, and enforcing traffic at the road, until they got tired doing these. One time, a baby frog had an idea, so they worked immediately on the spaceship and flew to save the universe. On their way to Planet #39, the computer alerted with an incoming bully scaring a friend, and the baby frogs bravely facing him to halt their fight. B&N has some behind-the-scenes material on the book and it looks quite audacious, with photos of models and more. An example:

frogs are still at a session. Flippy asks why they are still here and they say that they need inspiration for a story and Flippy says that they don't deserve inspiration. Flippy advices them to force themselves to create and the 2 frogs say they're aren't good at writing. Flippy tells them to make an biographical story. The 2 frogs then have an idea to make an autobiographical story about Flippy. Flippy tells them they can't make a story about him. One frog then asks why and the other replies "Because he doesn't drive a car." Flippy then denies this answer. A frog requests Flippy to tell the frog all about his life. Flippy then continues to tell the frogs. Join Li'l Petey [sic], Flippy, and Molly as they introduce comic making to twenty-one funny, rambunctious, and talented frogs. As the story unwinds with mishaps and hilarity, readers get to see the progress, mistakes, and improvements that come with practice and persistence. Can the trio help the class unleash their own creativity? Poppy tells Pink that it was awesome, but then Kip says that since he didn't make a bad comic, he failed at failing, much to the disappointment of Pink. Flippy says the book was good, but he didn't like the violent ending. Lil' Petey asks who wants to go next, and Pedro says he does. Skelopup comes to life after his old body decays underground. Then, the Cloud of Death takes him to Deadville. Skelopup meets Ghost Girl, and they have fun together. The End... The mixed media sections encourage sustainability by using recyclable materials and broken toys to create artwork!

The hilarity is nonstop as the baby frogs navigate sibling relationships, follow their path, and create art -- with purpose! Featured as stories-within-the-story, the mini comics showcase each baby frog's perspective and individual art style.In the ending of the book, it is revealed that Sarah and Zuzu will appear in the upcoming book: On Purpose. The shenanigans are nonstop and the baby frogs’ minicomics are funny and full of heart. Creating stories within a story, author and illustrator Dav Pilkey uses a variety of techniques — including acrylic paints, colored pencils, calligraphy, photography, collage, gouache, watercolors, and much more — to portray each frog’s perspective. The kaleidoscope of art styles, paired with Pilkey’s trademark storytelling and humor, fosters creativity, collaboration, independence, and empathy. Readers of all ages will relish this joyful graphic novel adventure. Chubbs sits on Jake the Spider. Then the venom transforms Chubbs' butt into a Spiderbutt. Then they decide to become superheroes and build a cool van. They soon encounter the Not Very Nice Club. The leader taunts them continuously, while unsuccessfully training his mentee to be unkind. Frankie, C.C., and Boo used to work as Law Enforcers. But they changed their minds and became space heroes. They detect a bully on a planet, and try to stop the bully. But the bully ejects an evil robot out of his body. The baby frogs turn the robot into a good robot, and they prompt him to hug the bully. The bully runs away, and the victim is saved.

Flippy, Molly, Li'l Petey, and twenty-one baby frogs each have something to say. Naomi and Melvin don't see eye to eye and Poppy perceives the world differently than her siblings. Will the baby frogs figure out how to work together and appreciate one another's point of view -- both inside and outside the classroom? The titular club is all about Cat Kid teaching the baby frogs how to make their own comic books, with the main point being that everyone can make a comic; this empowers kids to make their own comics and stories, too! Baby Flippy is the smallest fish among others in the sea, who was bullied by the sea creatures, drifted in the ocean, and they let him alone. He faces his courage along the way on his journey.

Excitement grips the Cat Kid Comic Club as Li'l Petey, Flippy, and Molly inspire twenty-one baby frog siblings to continue making authentic and unique comics. Will Naomi and Melvin keep up their antics, or will they finally decide to straighten up and fly right? Will the creativity continue? Will the drama diminish? Find out in the next Cat Kid Comic Club! The baby frogs blame Naomi and Melvin for all their mistakes throughout the past week, but Flippy blames it all on himself. They all try to comfort him using comics. At the courthouse, the Spinosaurus told the Triceratops that the Iguanodon ate his baby. The judge says that he looks guilty so he is sent to jail, but Dennis cuts them off by telling them that Iguanodons are vegetarians.

Rico and Drake asks Molly if the Show and Tell party would be happening the next day. But Molly confirms that it won't happen, since the frogs were goofing around a lot. They blame Melvin and Naomi for the cause.The comic starts off with a cute little cloud. She was fluffy and dead. The sun was mean to the little cloud, and tells her that she is creepy. The little cloud gets sad and starts to cry. Her tears watered the dead flowers, the Skelopup (skeleton puppy) was hydrated, and Ghost Girl and Skeleton Boy were having fun in the puddles. They all cheer for the little cloud, saying "thank you for the nice rain!" and they become friends. But then, the sun suddenly appears and starts to insult the little cloud and her new friends. Ghost girl tells everyone that just ignore the sun and it'll go away. And it worked. Soon, the moon and stars came out, and they played under the moon! Flippy called the doctor and nurse lady and they were on their way to the trailer. Flippy told them the frogs are in the bowling ally, They read the comics, and they loved'em!
