(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Gillian Johnson. In his fifth book, Melonhead and best friend Sam damage a family heirloom and decide to raise repair funds by doing odd jobs. Undeterred by their lack of knowledge and experience, the buoyant troublemakers unleash their assistance on their neighbors and somehow manage to salvage everything in the end. Johnson's spot art reinforces the humor, and, while the plot lacks cohesion, this is an entertaining pick for reluctant readers.
