Illustrated by
Christy Hale.
The setting here is an apartment building, and the large cast of characters includes two babysitters, three kids, and someone claiming to be the janitor. The dialogue is apt and funny, sparkling with rhyming repartee. Dynamic cartoon-style illustrations pick up the story's humor and help keep characters straight with a creative assortment of full-page art, vignettes, and frame sequences.
