The value of friendship is an extremely important lesson that everyone should be teaching their children and younger family members. When encased in an entertaining, colorful story full of laughs, it makes the lesson more fun for everyone involved.I’ve been a fan of Pat Hatt for some time, and this children’s book is no exception. My niece and nephew love ‘The Cosmic League’ as much as ‘The Swashbuckle Chuckle’. More than that, I took a liking to this story as well, and the time I get to spend with the little ones is welcome indeed.The illustrations in this book are fantastic. Chris DeFillippi has a real knack for making memorable, wacky characters that have just enough flair to be involved with the equally wonderful writing style of Patrick Hatt. As for the characters, I liked Zombie Man the best not only because he is a zombie, one of my favorite horror characters, but because he is the one who teaches Catality and Tarsier Man the value of working together.I would recommend this story to anyone with a younger family member who likes stories. Boys, in particular, will love this story – it has a superhero flair to it that they pick up on immediately. Another great one from Pat Hatt!
