| Grade 1-4–Polacco's follow-up to The Graves Family (Philomel, 2003) offers a further adventure in the lives of Doug and Shalleaux Graves and their children, friends, and nanny (a Venus flytrap named Phoebe). The family packs up a pink trailer and heads to Lake Bleakmire for a summer camping trip. While Dr. Graves and the youngsters search for new spider and snake specimens in the depths of the forest, they come across an enormous footprint. Then Shalleaux makes her famous Jum Jills (one bite sends anyone into "a veritable eating frenzy"), and the tasty treat attracts a fire-breathing dragon that keeps coming back for more. The situation worsens when the creature follows them home to Union City and threatens to ruin the town's fireworks display, until Dr. Graves comes up with a solution. The wacky illustrations are filled with Adams Family-like touches, which may be enough to distract readers from the meandering text and facile ending.– Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Maryland School for the Deaf, Columbia

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| If you've read several of Patricia Polacco's books before, you might think this book would be along the same lines as her other books. You're in for a surprise. This is an awesome book, filled with great illustrations and a great story. It is a great book to read around halloween, but it could also be used in thematic units dealing with family, or being greedy or rude. I laughed out loud several times while reading this book, and I know you will too. |
