Book Description:
With the laugh-out-loud humor of Spongebob and Dog Man, this slapsticky adventure is stuffed with action, friendship, heart, and a heaping dose of food puns!
Every morsel falls into place within the Foodtopia Pyramid. Well-peeled fancy folk reign from the TOPPINGS, average doughs make up the FILLING, and at the bottom, the odd-foods-out form the CRUMBS. This is where we find PEANUT and JELLY. They may be lowly employees at the Crumb Dump for now, but these ride-or-fries are determined to rise to the coveted upper crust. But when they accidentally unleash a Crumb Feeder into the city, their plans look shakier than an uneven soufflé! This tale has steaks, artichoke heart, and of course, is ripe with comedy!
Step into the whimsical world of Foodtopia with "AH, NUTS! The Crumbelievable Adventures of Peanut & Jelly" by Max Beaudry. Reminiscent of Ferris Bueller's mischievous antics blended with the camaraderie of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this book serves up a delectable concoction of humour, action and heart, garnished with a generous helping of food puns.
In Foodtopia, where social hierarchy is dictated by the Foodtopia Pyramid, we meet Peanut and Jelly, two lowly employees at the Crumb Dump with aspirations to rise to the coveted upper crust. However, their plans take a hilariously chaotic turn when they accidentally unleash a monstrous Crumb Feeder into the city, setting off a series of slapsticky adventures.
As Peanut and Jelly embark on a mission to contain the chaos they've unleashed, they discover the true ingredients of friendship and the importance of staying grounded in a world where social status reigns supreme. With its engaging storyline, relatable characters and vibrant illustrations, "AH, NUTS!" is a delightful read for readers aged 10 and above, promising laughter and valuable life lessons for the whole family to savour.
This graphic novel captured my imagination from the very first page. Beaudry has concocted a truly delectable story filled with laughter, heart and enough food puns to make even the pickiest reader smile.
I found myself drawn into the zany world of Foodtopia, rooting for Peanut and Jelly as they navigated their way through hilarious mishaps and heartwarming moments. The dynamic between the two protagonists is reminiscent of classic duos like Abbott and Costello, keeping the reader entertained with their witty banter and genuine camaraderie.
What I appreciated most about this book is its underlying message about friendship and the pursuit of happiness. Through Peanut's journey of self-discovery, we're reminded that true fulfillment comes not from climbing the social ladder, but from cherishing the relationships we hold dear.
The illustrations are a feast for the eyes, perfectly complementing the whimsical tone of the story. Each page bursts with color and energy, bringing Foodtopia to life in all its quirky glory.
Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend "AH, NUTS!" to readers of all ages. Whether you're a fan of food-themed adventures or simply looking for a good laugh, this book is sure to satisfy your appetite for fun.
