Gr 2–4—This search-and-find book features Catbug, one of the characters from Cartoon Hangover's YouTube series, Bravest Warriors. Other than a brief cartoon introduction, which gives the reason for the character's disappearance, the book is made up completely of Where's-Waldo—type scenes in which Catbug must be found. The artwork is based on the original cartoon by Pendleton Ward, but each spread has been completed by a different talented artist in his/her own style. The scenes are brilliantly colored and action-packed; some have a little too much action for very young readers. This volume, while visually appealing and well executed, will only be useful in libraries where Bravest Warriors is very popular.—Sarah Reid, Broome County Public Library, Binghamton, NY
