Praise for Sparks!: * Boothby' s background as a comedy writer shows in the tight timing, clever banter, and over-the-top dialogue, while Matsumoto' s archly funny cartoons -- buoyant, colorful artwork filled with speedy action, riotous sight gags, and animated character designs -- perfectly complement the script. Ideal for elementary-school readers, this is a natural choice for anyone who loved Dav Pilkey' s Dog Man series or Drew Brockington' s Catstronauts books. -- Booklist, starred reviewTightly spaced panels and frenetic motion lines keep the tension high and the pace quick, and the plethora of onomatopoeia give a dramatic and amusing comic-book feel. Back off, Lassie and Rin Tin Tin; Sparks is on the scene and ready for action. -- Bulletin of the Center for Children' s BooksIt' s an off-the-wall and very funny adventure with an entertaining odd-couple friendship at its core. -- Publishers WeeklyCat and dog lovers alike will laugh their way to the end of this offering. . . Recommended for all children' s comics collections. -- School Library Journal
