Ricky Ricotta loves his Mighty Robot, but sometimes it's hard for a little mouse to have a best friend who's so BIG. One night, Ricky makes a wish: If only his Mighty Robot had another friend who was his own size so he wouldn't have to hang out with Ricky all the time.

He's built a giant Ladybot to trick the Mighty Robot so he can take over planet Earth. Once again, it's up to Ricky and his pals to save the day.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for the Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot series:

"An adventure story with great appeal . . . With barely more text than a long easy-reader, this title will be a heaven-sent choice for kids with reading difficulties." —School Library Journal

"It's easy to see how Pilkey's high-action, easy-reading chapter novel with a comic book feel would appeal to younger readers . . . Silly good fun." —Kirkus

"Newly independent readers and Pilkey fans alike will not be disappointed by this humorous ride." —School Library Journal

"Aimed at a younger audience than the wildly popular Captain Underpants books, this series opener has all the classic Pilkey hallmarks..." —Booklist

About the Author

"Considered one of the most popular contemporary authors for readers in elementary school, (Dav Pilkey) is also regarded as a talented artist and inventive humorist as well as a subtle moralist. ...He underscores his works--even at their most outrageous--with a philosophy that emphasizes friendship, tolerance, and generosity and celebrates the triumph of the good-hearted."
-The Educational Book & Media Association

Dav Pilkey is the Caldecott Honor Award-winning creator of more than 40 books for children.

Dav Pilkey

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
When Dav Pilkey was a kid, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Dav was so disruptive in class that his teachers made him sit out in the hallway every day. Luckily, Dav loved to draw and make up stories. He spent his time in the hallway creating his own original comic books - the very first adventures of Dog Man and Captain Underpants.
In college, Dav met a teacher who encouraged him to illustrate and write. He won a national competition in 1986 and the prize was the publication of his first book, World War Won. He made many other books before being awarded the 1998 California Young Reader Medal for Dog Breath, which was published in 1994, and in 1997 he won the Caldecott Honor for The Paperboy.
The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby, published in 2002, was the first complete graphic novel spin-off from the Captain Underpants series and appeared at #6 on the USA Today bestseller list for all books, both adult and children's, and was also a New York Times bestseller. It was followed by Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers, also a USA Today bestseller. The unconventional style of these graphic novels is intended to encourage uninhibited creativity in kids.
His stories are semi-autobiographical and explore universal themes that celebrate friendship, tolerance, and the triumph of the good-hearted.
Dav loves to kayak in the Pacific Northwest with his wife.

Great Series of books - My grandson really likes them -

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

And I like them too. I learned about this series when visiting family and saw that my 6 yr old grandson had two (of the 9) books in the series. His mother liked them as they didn't have offensive words (like fart and poop and snot and other stuff that so many young people's books seem to have these days. It is male-centered in a world (it seems) of books geared to girls these days -- and the male-figure ones are outlandish in wording and bodily-function jokes. The main character is a boy mouse and the adventures are fun for young boys who want to be a hero of sorts in a simple life. The Mighty Robot is the hero but his owner is 'the little boy mouse'. Fun for adults to read out loud and many simple words so young readers can want to read them too. At first my grandson was disappointed that the 'new' books were a reprint edition of the ones he had but then he realized that the pages were thicker, the graphics cooler and now he wants new books of the two he already had (which he found a a used books store/thrift store). Even the older edition books he read at the library had torn pages (thin newsprint pages). So he agreed the new books would work out just fine. He was super surprised that his grandmother was able to find all the books he was missing (the other 7) and they arrived a few days into her trip - lots of time left to read them all.

Wonderful chapter books!

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

My 9 year-old third grader has been looking for "chapter" books within his reading level. He is very interested in his older brothers old books but is not yet ready (Diary of a Wimpy kid, Captain Underpants etc.). These were recommended to me by a friend and I decided to give them a try. I went on AR finder and checked the reading level and immediately ordered a few. He has not put these books down since they arrived. He is your typical boy- loves the outdoors, trucks, video games and so on. He was so excited that he has been showing extended family members his new chapter books. After reading a few pages he will excitedly tell me different things that are happening in the stories. I love that he can take these to school and take AR quizzes and keep them in our home library to read again later. If you have a 3rd grader that is not yet ready for "chapter" books, you will not be disappointed with these.

My visually challenged child can read the words, and it’s a chapter book.
I’m so glad the author spells the words correctly. Mr. Pilkey, if you ever read this, I want you to know that my kid reads your books and loves them. I appreciate that the words are big enough for a child who is legally blind to read, but would appreciate it if he would recognize that kids his age who only read Pilkey books eventually become horrible spellers.

My 6 yo son is becoming an avid reader. He loves these books and was so excited when I bought him the rest of the series. We had the first two that I scoped up about a year ago when a book store was closing. He will sit down and read these books and share his favorite parts with me. These are great for young readers!

Great Story, Binding Needs Work!

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

Our 8 year old LOVES the Mighty Robot series! Our only problem is the binding- the books tend to fall apart, a page slips out...then another...then you have a frustrated 8 year old. We have the entire series and it has happened with nearly every book. BUT, we LOVE the stories!

My kids LOVE these books!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

My kids get so excited each time we get a new one in the series. The messages of these books are always great - kind and empowering for children. The humor is sweet - gives parents a chuckle and it's just the right thing to see your child explode with laughter. My kindergartener (and now first grader) is able to read quite a bit of it on his own as well, and they love to just look at them on their own. These are just perfect.

The story is silly and immature but that's what kids love. My son has rad the entire series already

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2016

Verified Purchase

Our 4 yo really loves reading this series and has read it several times and even brought it to school to share and trade with class mates. Any book that makes our kids read on their own is worth the price of admission. The story is silly and immature but that's what kids love. My son has rad the entire series already.

Great books for transitioning from picture books to chapter books!

Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

My son is 11, and has truly struggled with reading. His autism tends to shine more with numbers than words, and his teachers haven't always had the time or patience to work with him one-on-one. Now that he's in a new school and community class, with full support, he's beginning to catch on...BUT, it's not always easy to find easy-reading books that are also engaging enough to keep his interest. The Ricky Ricotta books are just that. He loves reading them to his dad and I, as well as really, deeply studying the illustrations for story details. His teacher loves that he brings them to school, too. These books have honestly been a sanity-saver for all of us.
