内容简介 Perry and Cosmo love to draw comics starring their very own made-up characters: superhero Captain Zap and his villainous archenemy, the evil Baron von Fishhead. But what happens when the two boys uncover a couple of magic pencils that bring whatever they draw to life? A larger-than-life battle ensues between Captain Zap and Fishhead. Will Perry and Cosmo get control of their creations before truly "comical" disaster results?
编辑推荐 From Booklist
Gr. 2-3. After Perry and Cosmo find two magic pencils, everything they draw comes to life. Accustomed to sketching superheroes, they not only conjure up Captain Zap and his evil nemesis Fishhead, but they actually become the characters and find themselves fighting each other. When they use their ultimate weapons--attack pencil sharpeners--the pencils are destroyed and the magic disappears. The story is a bit silly but in a completely childlike, "let's pretend" sense, and the snappy title and cartoonlike cover illustration will appeal to many primary-grade children. Kids who aren't quite ready for chapter books will find this more challenging than the average "beginning reader" title. This exciting Step-into-Reading story could motivate them to sound out or guess at words like awesome and smithereens. Carolyn Phelan
