Editorial Reviews

Gr 2-4-This sequel to Gilson's Itchy Richard (Clarion, 1991) also features Mrs. Zookey's second-grade class, but can be enjoyed on its own. Patrick is a new kid, and while best friends Richard and Ben know they should be nice to him, it's hard because he's such a creep. An assignment on endangered animals brings know-it-all Patrick and Dawn Marie together after she convinces him that bats are ``Yummy'' not ``Yucky.'' They give a joint presentation, everyone learns a lot about bats, and all agree that even though Patrick is still trouble, he has some pretty good ideas. The everyday adventures, friendships, and pranks of these classmates are warmly and humorously portrayed. Shorter than Beverly Cleary's classic fiction for this age group, this title has the same wholesome appeal. de Groat's realistic pen-and-ink illustrations help readers understand some of the emotional undercurrents of this beginning chapter book.-Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library
