Boland and his dinosaur pals are not overjoyed when Tyrone tags along on a week-long camping trip to Swamp Island. Living up to his reputation as a troublemaker, the unscrupulous Tyrone cheats at every game and ends up winning all the prizes. Children will cheer when the sneaky dinosaur unsuccessfully tries to steal Boland's buried treasure and instead gets his just deserts. As always, Wilhelm knows what will tickle the funny bones of young readers; they will snicker at Tyrone's dreadful behavior, shifty eyes and caustic tongue. Ages 6-8.
No, David! Parents will be quick to jump to the conclusion that there can be nothing appealing in a tale of an ugly kid who breaks things. And certainly--from that adult perspective--there's something off-putting about the illustrations of David, with his potato head, feral eyes, and a maniacal grin that exposes ferociously pointed teeth. But 3- and 4-year-olds see things differently, and will find his relentless badness both funny and liberating. "No, David," wails the off-stage mother, as David reaches for the cookie jar. "No! No! No!" as he makes a swamp out of the bathroom.
