This was really cute and silly! I loved the escalation of the absurdity over the course of the book and the characters were distinct and funny, I think kids will really get a kick out of this series. ( )

Very cute and funny graphic novel for kids. I'm impressed

Kids will love this silly graphic novel about a pancake-loving weenie dog who will do anything to get pancakes, including inventing a pancake making machine. The ridiculously outrageous events in the story will appeal to kids. This book is similar to a mashup of Narwhal & Jelly combined with Stick Dog.

This second Weenie book by Maureen Fergus is a good early graphic novel for young readers. The illustration style and story will appeal to children who enjoyed Elephant and Piggie and are ready to advance in their reading. I could see some sections being a little too challenging, not because of the vocabulary, but more because there is so much happening in some of the pictures it could be distracting for a young reader. Overall, the story is cute and Weenie and Bob's relationship reminds me of the Hank Ketchum characters of Dennis the Menace and Mr. Wilson. ( )

The Pancake Problem with Frank and Beans was a huge hit at my house. My boys ages 5, 7, and 11 laughed aloud and read the book several times. There is a great flow to the story with humor thrown in. The illustrations are colorful and engaging. There is not too much text on the page making it perfect for readers in first and second grade. We had to pick up book one because the boys loved it. Can't wait to see if there are more in this series - we will be buying them.
