Illustrated by
Alan Snow.
A cast of silly villains is introduced in this amusing collection. Children will delight in discovering the true identities of the creatures who ransack lockers (Locker Destroyers), drain pens (Ink Drinkers), and ravage their hair the night before school picture day (the Scary-Hair Fairy). Some poems are stronger than others, but the angular crosshatched illustrations are consistently funny.
