The Experiments of Doctor Vermin

32 pp. | Houghton | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-618-13224-4 $$15.00
(4) K-3 Out-of-work short-order cook Sheldon, a pig, overcomes his fear of Halloween, wolves, and thunderstorms (and lands himself a job) when he helps capture a mad scientist bent on ruling the world. This parody of old-fashioned horror movies may strike young readers as more absurd than funny, but Egan's fans will appreciate his familiar understated humor, evident in both text and art.
Reviewer: Jennifer M. Brabander
