1-3Goofballs series.
Illustrated by
Colleen Madden.
Have the Goofballs finally met a mystery they can't solve? When items in Miss Becker's kindergarten classroom keep disappearing without any explanation, the Goofballs, a young detective team, go undercover as teachers to investigate. In his sixth installment, Abbott effectively uses spunky dialogue to create constant action and memorable characters, while Madden's detailed black-and-white illustrations bring humorous scenes to life.
