review:
'Skip School, Fly to Space: A Pearls Before Swine Collection' by Stephan Pastis is a collection of the hilarious comic strips. Totally fun for kids and anyone else who likes memorable characters.

Rat and Pig are friends. Rat is a troublemaker and his usual foil is gullible, earnest Pig. Poor Zebra just wants to be a good neighbor, but his neighbors are the mostly stupid crocodiles who are always trying (and failing) to have Zebra over for dinner. We see the crocodiles form a superhero team called the Fantastic Four, but there are only three of them (they aren't that fantastic at math, apparently). We see Goat try unsuccessfully to intervene on Rat's mean behavior to Pig. We meet Kiko the Cactus who just wants a hug.

I felt for poor Pig who is not so bright, but is sincere and put upon by his friend. I absolutely loved the crocodiles and I would laugh out loud just about every time they showed up. This is a great collection of cartoons for kids of any ages, and I had a great time reading it.

I received this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this hilarious graphic novel.
