In this second book in the Doodle Adventures series, the reader is once again recruited to aid the world- (and time- and space-) exploring duck, Carl. So grab a pencil and arm yourself with imagination!
Carl needs your help on a super special mission: To go to the grocery store and get him a frozen pizza (okay, maybe it's such a special job). For some reason, all of the pizza places in town are out of pizza. Headquarters calls and tells him that someone has been going around town stealing all of the pizzas -- including the frozen ones! AND all of the pizza ingredients and toppings. Gasp! Carl is hungry and very grumpy. Draw yourself into the story and follow the doodle prompts to assist Carl in his mission.
Doodle Adventures combines doodling and drawing with the adventure of a spellbinding fantasy tale. Like a visual Mad Libs chapter book, or a graphic novel where the reader gets to help with the graphics, it celebrates engaging, gamelike, fill-in fun for middle grade readers.
"Lowery's illustrations are adorable, a simple enough line style the kids don't feel their additions are inferior in any way but simultaneously clean professional, and fun. ...I would highly recommend enjoying these books as a family just for the collective giggle factor." -- GeekDad.com
