This latest addition to an acclaimed series is as quietly humorous and wisely innocent as its predecessors. Ten short chapters relate the April Fools' Day exploits of the denizens of Mud Flat. Sometimes the tricks work just as planned, sometimes they bomb, and sometimes the tricker becomes the tricked. Stevenson's personality-laden sketches grace every page in an eye-pleasing balance of text and illustration.
