(4) 1-3 Blast Off Boy and Blorp series. With his mildly retro Jetson-style illustrations and short, easily digested alternating episodes, Yaccarino tells the stories of Blast Off Boy and Blorp, exchange students on different planets who each get a new pet. The shtick about Blorp's voracious pet baby hippo never quite works, but Blast Off Boy's slobbery pet schloppo, with its transformation from nuisance to pal, is fresh and funny.
