Squish

review 1: Squish is a lovable ameba that like many children (and adults) has begun neglecting his school work in favor of the latest video game his friends are all playing: Mitosis. Will Squish be able to resist the Dark Side and return to his educational and domestic responsibilities?? Or will the allure of electronic stimuli firmly hold Squish in its clutches???I had a great time sharing this graphic novel with my daughter and I highly recommend this series for early and reluctant readers.
review 2: Squish certainly loves to read comic books about Super Amoeba, but when his friends Peggy and Pod get him hooked on the video game Meitosis,Squish is so determined to make it to the next level that he doesn't care about anything else. He doesn't do his book report on Moby ... moreDick, he doesn't sleep, and he doesn't even care about going to the comic convention with his dad! Evenutally, Squish realizes that the game isn't that exciting, and that he really needs to pay attention to other things in his life.Strengths: Snarky humor that appeals to both kids and grown ups is always the best part of Squish. Additional information about science is fun as well, but children will enjoy seeing Squish caught in the throes of striving for "rainbow effect" and "kitten effect" to the exclusion of all else. A teacher who likes comics, as well as a father who supports Squish's interest, add to the fun characters.Weaknesses: This was a bit cautionary, and I'm not sure if children who are addicted to video games will see themselves in this and learn from it! We can only hope! less
