Blue, Barry & Pancakes: Enter the Underground Throwdown

Reach for this book when your child needs a fun, low-stakes lesson in teamwork and not giving up, wrapped in a wildly silly package. Blue, Barry, and Pancakes are three best friends who accidentally break their beloved spatula. To win a legendary golden replacement, they must enter a zany underground worm wrestling tournament. This graphic novel is a laugh-out-loud story about combining different strengths to achieve a goal, believing in your team, and persevering through ridiculous challenges. Perfect for early elementary readers (ages 6-10), its fast-paced, visual storytelling is especially engaging for reluctant readers, modeling positive friendship skills without ever feeling like a lesson.
