Elys Dolan

It's a truth universally acknowledged that the very word weasel makes everything funnier. This is definitely true in "Weasels" by Elys Dolan. If you're a fan of silly and weird, check out this book.

plotting world domination. 'Nuff said.

This is the greatest book. There's not really a story - the weasels are attempting world domination but their machine is broken, so they're trying to fix it. The great part is how detailed and hilarious all the illustrations are...I barely even read the actual narrative, I was too busy following the saga of the coffee-obsessed (they drink Starweasels Coffee) and seeing how weasels like to waste time at work (napping and playing World of Woodcraft).

This was silly and fun and full of lots of little sci-fi references sure to go over most of the heads of those for whose age it is appropriate.

I enjoyed it a lot, not even sure my 9-year old read it, though it was in her room for a week.
