Hooey Higgins and the Shark

104 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-5782-6 $14.99
(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.
