(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Emma Dodson. When their class is presented with the task of creating something to make the world safer, Hooey, Twig, and Matt wrack their brains for a great idea. After a run-in with the class bully they decide on protective Tremendous Trousers ("TremTrows") but struggle to create and test their invention. Voake's second irresistibly quirky Hooey Higgins story is matched by Dodson's equally wacky illustrations.

(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Emma Dodson. Beginning chapter book meets screwball comedy in this British import. Hooey Higgins and his friend, Twig, plan to capture a shark and charge admission for a viewing in order to raise the money to buy the world's largest chocolate egg. Dodson's wacky spot art helps readers pick up on tone, and her opening spread, depicting the large cast, helps keep all the players straight in this over-the-top but propulsive read.
