Schnozzer & Tatertoes Series written by Rick Stromoski

The end of the year is fast approaching, and summer reading will soon be here! As you wander your library, checking to make sure you have the best selection of adventure books for summer reading, here are a few that may not yet be on your shelves.

Schnozzer & Tatertoes are two best buddies that go on many adventures. “In Take a Hike!” the two hike to visit the puppy farm where Schnozzer was born. As the pair travel through the forest,  they encounter fairy tale characters such as The Big Bad Wolf, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel. They also encounter quicksand. Tatertoes saves Schnozzer with quick thinking and his always-present yo-yo.

The humor is continuous and is sure to keep readers engaged until the very end. For example, when Schnozzer hears Tatertoes say there are “no spiders” he hears nose spiders and spends the night sleeping with pinecones in his nose. What child can’t relate to that!

“Travel is made fun with two excellent new characters off on their first quest.” -  Kirkus Review

In “Shoot the Moon!”, our two buddies visit the Air & Space Museum, looking for a new adventure. The two are on a quest to learn something new but soon are chasing an errant yo-yo into an active space capsule. Tatertoes and Schnozzer activate the space capsule and are shot into space. Landing on the moon, they meet moon dwellers who want all the junk from the Apollo missions cleaned up. They also save Earth from an asteroid.

“A first purchase for most collections, this will keep young readers laughing and engaged all the way to space and back.” – School Library Journal
