Your Pajamas Are Showing!: Book 1 (Where's Leopold?) - Tapa blanda

"Teachers and parents may raise an eyebrow at a story that uses words like 'doo doo, ' 'dummy, ' 'mafia, ' and includes pictures a young school-aged boy in his underwear who kicks, hits, and toots, but young readers are going to love the silliness in this graphic novel, the first in the Where's Leopold? series. When Leopold discovers he can make himself invisible, hilarity ensues with Leopold playing tricks on his sister, parents, and schoolmates. Included at the end of the story is a picture puzzle for readers to solve. This storyline will be easily understood and enjoyed by younger students who are fans of the Captain Underpants books." --Library Media Connection

"Pesky little brothers can be annoying--but what if yours was invisible?
Orange-haired, caramel-chomping Celine is saddled with an exceedingly annoying little brother, Leopold. Unlike most irritating siblings, Leopold has a superpower: He is able to turn invisible. The carrot-topped team do what any kids with access to such a power would do: pull silly pranks on each other and their friends. In one vignette, Leopold uses his talent to blame horribly smelly flatulence on those around him (including Celine and his dad); what kid wouldn't crack up at the chance to pull off the ultimate 'silent but deadly' prank? In another, he employs his invisibility to sneak an entire dessert off the table, leaving his sister to take the blame (though he does pay his own price with an uncomfortably full belly). Oversized panels and exceptionally exaggerated expressions only beef up the already bountiful bons mots. The short, highly episodic exploits are delivered with minimal text and at lightning speed; expect most to devour this in a single short sitting.
Just try to read it and not snicker." --Kirkus Reviews

"Leopold and his older sister, Celine, engage in the usual sibling rivalry, but one day Leopold takes it to a new level when he discovers he can turn invisible. He does have to work on such minor problems as his clothes not disappearing (he's not ready to completely take them off). All he wants to do with his power is to play tricks on Celine, but he's willing to help her if she'll pay him in caramels. The episodic stories, translated from the original French, employ universal humor relating to family and school. The colorful, cartoony art adds to the laughs, while the simple panels and word balloons help young, novice readers negotiate the comic-book pages. The book includes some potty humor, and the invisible Leopold helps Celine hit a couple of mean girls in the school yard. Young readers who like goofiness and superpowers in equal parts will enjoy this first entry in the Where's Leopold? series." --Booklist
