But it all starts with the book. The premise of Moonbot’s debut is simple and kid friendly: how can we explain the things that annoy us? For instance, where do missing socks go? Well, it’s certainly not your fault one disappears; blame the Sock Stalker, one of many Mischievians, “an ancient race of mischief-makers.” The book’s setup is brief, as two kids find themselves in Dr. Zooper’s laboratory, where they’re introduced to an encyclopedia explaining the Mischievians. From there the book becomes a Q&A, as the kids make queries (“Where do blisters come from?”) and Dr. Zooper responds. Kids may tire of the lengthy question-and-answer sessions, but the illustrations of the various Mischievians, courtesy of Moonbot Studios, are amusing. As with the introduction, the book concludes abruptly. Not the most cohesive story line, but the concept is likely to win fans. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: The brainchild of Joyce, and a joint venture between a major publisher and an artists’ studio, this should get a ton of press.

I was a little thrown by the style at first, but it didn't take long to settle into it. My son and I started reading it before bed one night, thinking we would just read a bit because it was late, and we would finish it the next night. Nope - neither of us could put it down. The Mischievians are hilarious, creative, and completely relatable. With almost ever creature, we had to stop reading so Little Dude could tell me about a time that this Mischievian must have created a situation in his life. It was really cool to hear him recalling stories from his own life and embracing the fantasy from this book.I thought my son would get a kick out of "The Dangler" since he's a bit gross, and my kid usually likes gross things. But his absolute favorite is the LintBellian. Hands Down. He might be my favorite, too, but it's hard to choose. The other great thing about this book is that my son really doesn't love to read. He can read, but he would rather I just read to him. But with this book, he picks it up and reads it on his own at least weekly. Very few books have been able to capture his attention in that way, which means I love it even more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute and Funny *by M***A on July 26, 2019* Great book! We first read it at the library and loved it so much we purchased it. The kids find it hilarious and refer to everything now as a Mischievian. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is my son's favorite!! At first he was a little scared ... *by C***Y on November 3, 2014* This book is my son's favorite!! At first he was a little scared (@ 4 years old). But it did help him not fear the unknown (if that makes sense). It's funny, informative, helps develop a young imagination and creativeness. I cannot tell you how many times we have read this book... After, the 2nd time, he told us he was going to be an "Author of books" when he grows up! This book is amazing! Thank you William "Bill" Joyce for contributing to my son's LOVE for books and reading! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/178735187-the-mischievians-hardcover-picture-book-october-22-2013](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/178735187-the-mischievians-hardcover-picture-book-october-22-2013) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
