Illustrated by
Helen Stephens.
This second book about the Quigleys is if anything funnier and more reflective of family realities than the first. Once again, the author includes details that demonstrate that he knows exactly what it's like both to be a parent and to be a child. The humor is all human-foible based, very warm, and not at all brittle. The Quigleys are at large again; long may they roam.
