New Releases by James Kochalka

James Kochalka, the first Cartoonist Laureate of Vermont, has been hailed by School Library Journal for creating ''''Just the right blend of sarcasm, silliness, and action to appeal to both child readers and to adults reading with their kids.'''' Now, his two uproarious series collide, as ''''the best little ghost in the world'''' teams up with everyone''s favorite robot-kitty-warrior to take on a terrifying Ice Dragon! When JOHNNY BOO meets DRAGON PUNCHER, the result is an explosion of adventure and fun.

Even "the best little ghost in the world" gets bored sometimes! But in the award-winning Johnny Boo series, fun is never far away. For instance, check out this magic hammer... Johnny Boo lets Squiggle borrow his magic hammer so Squiggle can work on a mysterious project, but that leaves Johnny Boo with nothing to do today. He has lots of great ideas about how to spend his time while he waits, but -- oh NO! -- ends up getting bored of each and every one of them. Not to worry, though. Joined by Squiggle, the Ice Cream Monster, and a BIG new friend, Johnny Boo will still have a hilarious adventure... and maybe even learn something about sharing! It''s the perfect book for any bored kid, from Eisner-winning cartoonist James Kochalka.
