The rest was history.But it didn't stop there! The wild universe of zaniness called "imagination" thirsted for more. Some time later, more faces jumped out. A talking soccer ball, a genius pterodactyl, and a buck tooth wonder wearing underpants were just a sample of the group of crazy characters. But what should they be called? After some thought, they were labeled the "Silly Toons." Thus initiated a new universe...And then the Renaissance began.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Let's go on an adventure.By Nicholas TanDon't let the cover fool you. This is not a storybook for young children. It is a collection of short stories with epic themes utilizing slightly more comical characters. For example, you may have a turtle and a parrot who are the best of friends that get into a battle with an evil entity ending with a car dropping on someone's head.For children between the fifth and eighth grade, this book may encourage less inclined readers to pick up a book. Parents can rest easy that this book is a notch up from those fad novels about Pokemon or comic books. It is also not particularly violent though struggle is a meaningful part of the plot.The greatest assets of the book are its "Aesop's Fables" style morals. In the style of a Lord of the Rings adventure, this book contains memorable characters and universal idealism.It is possible to use this book to teach a classroom of comparable reading level or it can even be used as a reading aid for those video game locked monsters we create in our living rooms.
