(4) 1-3 Roscoe Riley Rules series. Illustrated by Brian Biggs. All four books begin with young Roscoe addressing the reader ("Hey! Over here!") from the time-out corner, explaining how he got in trouble...again. Brief chapters, large type, super-short sentences, and slapstick humor recommend these series entries to second-grade boys. The illustrations, like the text, are serviceable but not inspired. All-in-all, lightweight fare for emerging or reluctant readers. Review covers these Roscoe Riley Rules titles: Don't Swap Your Sweater for a Dog, Never Glue Your Friends to Chairs, Never Swim in Applesauce, and Never Swipe a Bully's Bear.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
