Ricky Ricotta is a mouse with a robot for a best friend. This book focuses on their battle with Mr. Mosquito who wants to take over Earth because he's tired of the changing weather conditions on Mercury. Mr. Mosquito makes an army (out of his nail clippings, gross!) and invade Earth. Ricky's robot defeats the mutant mosquitoes, but Mr. Mosquito takes Ricky hostage and morphs his spaceship into a giant mosquito robot to battle Ricky's robot. Ricky's robot refuses to fight knowing Ricky's inside, but Ricky devises an escape plan and begs Mr. Mosquito to let him use the restroom. While in the bathroom, Ricky sneaks out the window and jumps into his robot's large hand. With Ricky safe, his robot fights Mr. Mosquito's robot and saves the world!Featuring Flip-O-Rama, a mini math lesson, and real facts about Mercury, many boys who are fans of Pilkey's Captain Underpants series will also enjoy Ricky Ricotta.
