4-6Ziggy and the Black Dinosaurs series.
Illustrated by
Jesse Joshua Watson.
In their sixth adventure, Ziggy and his friends enter the school talent show. After winning, they donate their two-hundred-dollar prize to a family displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Although some of the details are unlikely (for example, the displaced mother finds an apartment and job in about one day), the story is entertaining and well meaning. A study guide is appended.
