I admit to being a tad puzzled to find this in my review box. Then, it occurred to me that 2019 might be an anniversary. Happy 25th anniversary Hally Tosis and Dav Pilkey! So this post is sort of a bonus #tbt, only with a re-issue.
Poor Hally! She has such bad breath that Mr. & Mrs. Tosis see no other alternative than adoption. Their children, on the other hand, try everything in their power to save her but nothing worked. Luckily for the Tosis family, her breath was the key to foiling a pair of burglars and Hally's place in the family was secured. (And so were clothes pins.)
Colorful, energetic humorous cartoon art entertains, groan worthy puns and word play propel the dialogue. Pilkey is a perennial favorite in most school and classroom libraries with good reason. This paper on board edition should be a welcome addition.
