Publisher Description:
From the author who brought you Fly Guy comes an easy-to-read graphic novel about two very funny brothers--"great fun for newly independent readers and graphic novel newbies" (School Library Journal)

Mac and Mac, who love pie and hate making their beds, are hollow-headed. See in here? Nothing Zippo Nada Mac explains. That's why they're so easy to fool--and their clever friend Meatball isn't afraid to take advantage of that fact.

Illustrated by Tedd Arnold, whose Fly Guy series is a kid favorite, this graphic novel is perfect for comic fans and reluctant readers, with short, funny chapters following Mac and Mac through ridiculous adventures. Full of wordplay, jokes, and slapstick humor, the Noodlehead series is sure to delight.

Based on traditional world folktales and stories of fools, the Noodleheads also encourage critical thinking, inviting kids to use their noodles--spotting the holes in the brothers' grand plans, and anticipating how things will go awry.

Source notes from professional storytellers Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss provide more information about the traditional stories that inspired Mac and Mac's mishaps, showing how these comic motifs feature in folklore and legends all around the world and offering opportunities for further reading.

This easy-to-read series, including the Geisel Honor book Noodleheads See the Future, is an accessible introduction to stories of fools, and a great next read for fans of the Fly Guy books.
