From Dav Pilkey, author of Captain Underpants, comes this great series about a mouse named Ricky Ricotta who lives in Squeekyville, where all the inhabitants last names are a type of cheese. The first book describes how the Dr. Stinky McNasty created the Mighty Robot to destroy earth. The Mighty Robot refused and Ricky saved him from being destroyed by the evil Doctor.
The next books of the series tell the tales of how Ricky and his Mighty Robot save the world from various villains from different planets. The creatures happen to alliterate with the planets their from (Vultures from Venus, Monkeys from Mars, Unicorns from Uranus...).
This series is written at about a 1st/2nd grade level so the books are perfect for primary grades, or struggling upper grade readers. There are tons of great pictures, and almost have a chapter book meets graphic novel feel.
