Petlandia par Peter Hannan

Madame Wigglesworth manages to tolerate the humans who worship her until they turn their attention to a new object of adoration: A pup named Grub. She can't take it any more! A few evil schemes later and the human Finkleblurts are out of the house for good and Madame Wigglesworth has founded Petlandia. Naturally, she will be the first dictator, ahem, president that is. But she didn't count on lovestruck Honeybaked Hamster voting for....Grub?? Things escalate quickly to all-out civil war. Will peace ever return to Petlandia?

Hannan's scratchy black and white cartoons are an excellent fit for the story. Madame Wigglesworth's vampire-like fangs, the teeny-bopper Honeybaked, nasty rats, and droolingly ridiculous Grub snarl and fight their way through an increasingly untidy background, ending with a stomach-turning scene with worms.

On the one hand, I read this and thought "Bad Kitty for kids who like Cartoon Network". On the other hand, I read this and thought "this has no redeeming qualities other than being grossly funny". The characters are stupid and/or nasty, and the ending is ridiculous.

Verdict: Not surprisingly, the author has done a lot of work on Nickelodeon and fans of that brand of humor will eat this up. It's a graphic blend - primarily text with spot illustrations - so a nice compromise for parents who don't want their kids reading graphic novels. It's not over the top gross or crude, just has a rather icky feel to it. It reminded me of Apocalypse Bow-Wow only with an actual plot. I'm not exactly going to recommend it, but it will certainly circulate.

My Big Mouth: 10 Songs I Wrote That Almost Got Me… par Peter Hannan

Davis Delaware and his dad move midyear after his mom's death and Davis wants nothing more than to blend into the background of his new school. But then he falls for beautiful Molly and it's all downhill from there. Soon, Davis is a member and lyricist of their new band, the star poet of his English class, and the target of the school bully--who also happens to be Molly's boyfriend. Lightweight fare with silly caricatures that may appeal to fans of Wimpy kid.

Petlandia par Peter Hannan

This book is good for people who love pets and funny stories. This is about a family with a cat and they just got a puppy. The cat doesn't get any attention because of the puppy, so the cat convinces the puppy that the humans wouldn't give him belly rubs anymore. So one night the pets kick the humans out of the house. This leads to a very funny story. I would recommend this book to my friends.

Great book about freshmen woes, and using song writing to deal with it.
