Synopsis

The Fraser brothers are back in this lighthearted sequel to "No Dogs Allowed." Now entering fourth grade, Jason wonders if it isn't time to find a new look in clothing and acquires an unwanted girlfriend whom Mrs. Fraser unwittingly invites to dinner. Edward, a first-grader, must face a pre-Halloween haunted house complete with spaghetti brains, and experiences mother-hood up close when his pet rat Spike, who isn't supposed to, has babies. With humorous black-and-white drawings, these five stories perfectly capture teh brothers' never-ending adventures.

Children's Literature

Jason and his friend Andrew are trying to teach Jason's brother Edward how to hit a baseball. Little do they know that he is shutting his eyes when the ball comes near. When Edward goes to the department store and helps a grandmother find the perfect dress for her granddaughter, he forgets that he is wearing a blond wig and can't understand why his friends don't wave back to him. This collection of five stories will amuse and entertain. They also reveal a true bond between the brothers especially in the saga of the matching red sweaters. Kids who have graduated from beginning readers will find these stories a real treat.
