Squish: Super Amoeba by Jennifer and Matthew Holm

Holm, Jennifer L., and Matthew Holm. Squish: Super Amoeba. New York: Random House, 2011. 96p.

In this first book of the Squish series, readers meet Squish, an imaginative amoeba who tries to survive relationships with friends, family members, bullies and teachers. Squish often escapes into his comic books, drawing inspiration from his hero, Super Amoeba. 

The story-within-a-story effect, interesting information about amoebas at the beginning of the book, and the  "Fun Science" section and drawing lesson at the end all enhance a humorous, action-packed story that kids will love! Students who enjoy this book will want to read its sequels to continue the adventures!
