I can’t say how proud I am of juvenile graphic novels right now! Jellaby and Owly were stand-outs for me, and really opened my eyes to how great this form of book can be for any age group, but especially elementary and middle school readers who may prefer comic books to novels. It’s a happy medium that is truly happy (and perfect.) Now, I have read some duds, but I’m glad to say Pinky & Stinky stands out. It’s not as good as Jellaby, but it’s definitely a close relative of Owly and is pretty nea...

I connect spiritually with Stinky.

This is a quick read and there's nothing spectacularly amazing about it, but there is also no reason I can think of not to read it. It's funny, and very well done. The opening is great, the concept great, the art great. Kochalka has a unique cartoonish style that in seemingly simple strokes gets to the heart of the cuteness and the drama.Drama: Two talking pigs, Pinky and Stinky, are on a special mission to Pluto and crash land on the moon. The pigs are a classic comic duo, PInky's sort of no no...

Pinky and Stinky is about two pigs that have a mission to be the first animals on Pluto. They are traveling and crash into the moon were there is astronauts working. But what will happen? Read the book to find out. This comic kept me on the edge of my seat. The only weakness it had was that I wanted a colored comic, but I got over that. Pinky and Stinky's strengths were the book was so funny, had a great story, and I love the illustrations. I recommend it to fun loving kids who love to sit down

adorable. would have been 5 stars if more resolution at the end, but it took about twenty minutes to read and was supper cute!

A cute enough little story for kids. Some of the people are really mean to the piglets, kicking and throwing them which is a bit disturbing. Why are these grown men so threatened by piglets? I'm not sure. Astronauts are the villains in this story, not the heroes so that might be an issue for some kids. The art is simple and clear and the colouring felt basic.

James Kochalka never fails to charm with his books. Pinky & Stinky are two little pig-stronauts sent on a historic and exciting mission to Pluto. They encounter some trouble with an asteroid and end up crashing on the moon. There they meet some astronauts and end up in more peril! Fun for all ages!

I love James Kochalka's "American Elf" diary comics! His years and years of chronicling the minutiae of his daily life in (usually) four panels easily ranks as one of the greatest achievements in comics. It's an unqualified five-star masterpiece! His other work? The Superfuckers series, the Glorkian Warrior books, his Johnny Boo stuff, and this book, "Pinky & Stinky?" Well, I think I've come to the conclusion that I'll always find James Kochalka's non-"American Elf" work to be just shy of brilli...

This is a great graphic novel for beginner students.

"This graphic novel about two astronaut piglets whose mission goes awry when they accidentally crash land on the moon is drawn in a charmingly simple style that still manages to convey expressions, particularly those of our porcine heroes. Jam-packed with adventure, as Pinky and Stinky must find a way to outwit their fellow astronauts and save the Moon Princess. Kids ages 5 and up will love Pinky & Stinky." CIP: "Pinky & Stinky are fat little piglets, but just because they're cuties doesn't mean...

I might have actually given this two stars, but am shamed by Jan's five star review challenging those of us "who have not yet gone over to the Dark Side." Okay, maybe I must have been there, because this felt initially just typical Kochalka-cute, and yet another of the hundreds of the children's books with the (cute) name Pinky in the title. But the two little piglet astronauts made me smile, there on Pluto, stranded, facing moon-creatures and jealous astronauts. The publisher's own description

I really enjoyed this book. It was super cute and funny. I loved the interactions between pinky and sitnky because they have such distinct personalities. This book was a short little read but very action-packed. I think this would be a great book for kids who have a very active minds and imaginations. The only thing I wish is that it had colored illustrations.

Pinky & Stinky are two piglets who are on a mission to Pluto. They’ve been sent up into space by the US government. An asteroid hits their shuttle and they’re forced to crash land on the moon. Pinky falls into a deep depression because he believes their mission is over, but Stinky calmly collects all of their gear and pulls them to Moon Base Five, where they encounter some human astronauts who are on a mission of their own. That’s when Pinky & Stinky discover that the humans are terrorizing the

Pinky and Stinky are two fat little piglets. They are also two astronauts on a mission to become the first piglets on Pluto. And last but not least, they're cuties, too. Which is what saves them when the going gets tough and they have to crash land on the Moon. You see, the Moon Princess realizes just in time that they are cute and should thus not be thrown into the dungeon, and Pinky and Stinky return the favor by saving the Moon Princess from the oppressive American Space Program - hooray for

Surprisingly violent. And the human astronauts are not nice at all. A story of bigotry and naked imperialism.

Is this an innocent children's book that is a mixture of "Star Wars and Pokemon," featuring two cute little piglet astronauts on their way to Pluto (with an unscheduled stop on the Moon) . . . Or, is it a metaphor for the gratuitous oppression of colonial powers exploiting the natural resources and subjugating a people in far flung places like the African Continent, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Latin America, and the Caribbean?And, if the Moon people represent the oppressed colonists, an...

Cute.

This graphic novel is a very quick read I would recommend to kids ages 7-13 who like comics, adventure, or animals. It's an adventure tale about two pig astronauts. At first they have a Pinky and the Brain dynamic, but that meanness disappears when they are forced to work together when they crash land on the moon. It's a nice comic for kids that have read everything else I have on the shelf to recommend. I'm only giving in three stars since the story and characters are simple. This book is not b...

This book is by the author of my favorite Johnny Boo but it has nothing of the flair or humor of those. This is also a long book for children - 200 pages. It involves two pigs, Pinky and Stinky, who are on a super special mission to Pluto. However, they nick an asteroid and land on the Moon where there is a base with human astronauts. The two pigs manage to free the captive moon princess and save the moon kingdom from the bad astronaut and continue on their way to Pluto. It's a bit hard to expla...
