(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Herm Auch. This is a funny follow-up to I Was a Third Grade Science Project. Because an experiment in the first book goes wrong, Arful Lewis, a dog, can talk. In alternating chapters headed by thumbnail drawings of the narrators, Arful and human third-grader Josh tell their versions of preparations for the school talent show. The illustrations have a sketchy, amateurish quality, but the text's droll humor moves this chapter book along.
