Gr 4—6—A Franco-Belgian comic that first appeared in 1992, this book should also speak to American kids. Ducoboo is the class dunce and constantly feuds with Leonie Gratin, the teacher's pet. Colorful cartoons illustrate the one-page comics, which follow a continuous narrative. This quick read should appeal to fans of other mischievous schoolboys such as Hank Ketcham's Dennis the Menace and Jeff Kinney's Greg Heffley. Zany gags; memorable characters such as "Skelly," the anatomy class skeleton; and silly but smart humor make this an entertaining comic for fans of humorous stories, as well as "Asterix" and "Tintin" readers.—Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NY
