Squish Super Amoeba by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm

In this graphic novel, Squish devours his favorite comic "Super Amoeba" whenever he can find a chance.  He has the opportunity to put to practice Super Amoeba's motto, "It was the right thing to do.".
I really like how this series shares facts about the microscopic world and brings in science coupled with issues kids face.
The author and illustrator make comments throughout via green arrows.
Points to discuss: bullies, cheating, not paying attention in class (ie reading a comic book while teacher is instructing), global warming
**In the back they include a simple science experiment and how to draw Squish.
