Illustrated by
Adam Stower.
As gleefully absurd as Pinkwater's other titles about siblings Nick and Maxine's eccentric old babysitter who lives in their backyard, this third book features a brief visit from Mrs. Noodlekugel's ship-captain husband and his new pet bear, Drooly, who's being trained for the circus. Stower's line illustrations add to the series' trademark nonsensical silliness.
