Review

Humor and heart are the primary words that come to mind when reviewing this sequel in The Bolds Series. The house fills as a crocodile climbs out of the toilet, two disguised horses knock at the door and a singing dog follows the adjoining house owners. Each are welcome and incorporated into the households regardless of their situation. This book is about acceptance, tolerance and inclusion as much as humor.

Clary expresses his love of humor in the text while Roberts exhibits his quirky silliness in his illustrations. Together these British fellows have provided early chapter book readers with a fun new series. Some however may not want to sit on a toilet seat for several weeks. Add to libraries where series books are collected.
