This is an extremely entertaining comic book about micro-organisms. It fuses the fiction and nonfiction genres by interspersing facts about amoebas, paramecia, and more, into the silly adventures of a geeky amoeba and his friends, as they try to defeat the bullies in their school. As a result, this book could be used in classrooms to expose students only interested in fiction texts or comic books to science and informational texts.This book could also be used in a lesson on how to use reference

One Sentence Review: Alas, it doesn't quite have the oomph of the Holms' Babymouse series (and does anyone else think it odd that the girls in this book are all dingbats?).

I read this because I love the Babymouse series. It wasn't nearly as good. The characters are unlikeable.

I picked this new graphic novel up at the bookstore because I knew immediately--in capital letters KNEW--that the kids at my school would love to get their grubby little hands on it. They adore Babymouse (yes, even the boys) and they will LOVE this new series.Squish is an amoeba. His best friend Pod is an amoeba. Their friend Peggy is a planaria. So this is what we're working with here. Microbiological humor. Squish is your basic Charlie Brown of amoebae--a lovable guy who often finds himself in...

In"Super Amoeba" by Jennifer L. Holm, it talks about a normal day of squish. In the beginning of story, Squish meet his two friends Piggy and Pod by the way to school. But inside the school, there's a bad guy who wants to eat Piggy, but Squish know this, so he decided to safe Piggy. Finally Piggy's pet safe Piggy and Piggy got safe. The ending of story is very happy.

It was a pretty good book! But this one kept on pointing out things that was quite obvious! It’s also depressing that each bad guy in the book dies at the end! For example, Lynwood. In the first book he bullied Squish and tryed to eat Peggy. At the end of the book he got eaten alive by Peggy’s Pet named Fluffy!

Okay. Some science details that will be a little advanced for the age group. I didn't really like the way they dealt with the bully though. Squish acted like he was going to stand up to the bully and then he didn't and the only way it was resolved was that a pet ate the bully.

"Squish: Super Amoeba" is uniquely written and illustrated by, Jennifer L. Holm (Author, Illustrator), and Matt Holm (Author, Illustrator). Squish is a brand new graphic series about this squish named Amoeba. Amoeba is just trying to find his place in this big world or just at least make it through one school day one at a time. In this book of the series, amoeba becomes super amoeba! He tries to eliminate all the bad things that happen in his school. For example, like the bullies, detention and

This was a medium quality book.My gut said just keep reading, so I did. I think I will read the rest of the series when I have a chance.

This book is called “Squish”by Jennifer L.Holm.It is about squish with his best friend Pod and Peggy (they are not humans).Squish is a amoeba, he likes comic books and he is smart in science;Pod is also a amoeba,he is Interest in stopping global warming;Peggy is a paramecia,a lovely “girl” and she always happy all the time.One day after school,they need be detention because they were late for class in the morning.When they are in the detention’s room,they meet a bad guy he is called “Lynwood”,he...

Squish is an amoeba who does well at school, when he manages to get his head out of his Super Amoeba comic book. Pod, his best friend, is another amoeba who wants to solve global warming, once he gets rid od the tuna sandwich that nobody wants. Peggy is a sweet and clueless paramecium, who wants nothing more than to show her friends her cute pet slime mold. Lynwood is the school bully, who just wants to eat Peggy. Thinking about what Super Amoeba would do, and conversations with his dad, are how...

This is the first book in the Squish series by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm. Our youngest ripped through the Babymouse series in no time and while we're waiting for the next book in that series, she decided she wanted to try out this one.I may just be a boring old middle-aged lady, but I think that the story in this book isn't nearly as compelling or charming as the Babymouse stories. In fact, the characters are pretty irritating and flat. But our youngest really liked them, and she's eager...

it was good and i like that the are germs

I think I need to go wash my pseudopods.

This was a cute graphic scientific novel on the life of a squishy amoeba. I thought the science experiment at the end was gross but funny. Also, the comic within a comic of "Super Amoeba" was a nice touch. And gotta love Fluffy. ;)

Follow the adventures of Squish an ordinary amoeba who dreams of being a superhero. But first he has to outsmart Lynwood the bully, pass his science test, and complete detention all before he can save his clueless, but adorable friend Peggy from her pending doom.

I read this to check it out before buying it for a grandkid. It's cute, good story, easy to follow, no toilet humor. Hopefully the 6 year old will like it too.

I do not even know what i just read. I did not follow one bit.

Primary book #2 Squish Super Amoeba1. This graphic novel enhances my collection by showing students ways to stand up for themselves and for others when something is not right. The story is about an Amoeba named “Squish” and his two friends at school, one of who is being bullied. Squish is an avid reader of a comic book about an amoeba superhero, whom he looks up to and wants to be like. When he notices that his friend is being bullied, he tries to stand up for her, but just freezes up since the

This will certainly appeal to any fans of the Babymouse books, and any kids who would have love to have read Babymouse, if only her books weren't pink! Love the idea of our green sporting hero, but given the target age and the (typial) reading ability of the kids who are going to be drawn to this one, I do think that too much of the vocabulary is pretty difficult. "Amoeba" is in the title, but that one I don't think is too hard; "Microscopic" is mentioned early on, but again that one isn't too h...
