Quotes

"A delight!" —Discovery Girls

"…a very welcome third outing….The odd happy piece of information…is conveyed effortlessly without impinging on the terrifically childlike voice….Blackall's black-and-white spot illustrations…capture the kids' personalities beautifully….Just right." —Kirkus Reviews

"Barrows' dynamic duo is as appealing here as in the first two books, and emergent readers will identify with their outrageous antics." —Booklist

"This is a great chapter book for students who have recently crossed the independent reader bridge." —School Library Journal
