(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Joe Berger. In their second adventure, the Tooting family (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again) and their time-traveling car return, stopping this time in dinosaur-rampaged prehistoric lands, Prohibition-era Manhattan, and the lost city of El Dorado. The story is packed with quirky details, but the stake-raising events have quick resolutions that stall the plot. The accompanying black-and-white digital illustrations are expressive and fluid.
