(4) 1-3 Zeke Meeks series. Third grader Zeke Meeks is back in these two installments. In Phony he looks forward to his cousin Sam's visit--until Sam arrives and seems perfect. In Pets Zeke tries to prove he's responsible enough to bring the class hamster home for the weekend. Cartoon drawings and Zeke's lively narration fuel these fairly unoriginal episodes. Glos. Review covers these Zeke Meeks titles: Zeke Meeks Vs. His Big Phony Cousin and Zeke Meeks Vs. the Pain-in-the-Neck Pets.
