On Bonefish Street live two very different families...
...the Bobs, who are messy, and the Tweets, who are neat. How can these two strange families get along in the same neighborhood? And are all the Tweets really neat and all the Bobs slobs? This is the first book in a brand-new series of full-color, illustrated high-interest rhyming stories that's just right for reluctant readers. It's Dr. Seuss meets Captain Underpants wrapped into one zany adventure. Get ready to read...and laugh!"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Pepper Springfield was born and raised in Massachusetts. Pepper loves rock 'n' roll and chocolate, just like Lou Tweet. And, like Dean Bob, Pepper loves to read and do crossword puzzles. Over the years, Pepper has loved all kinds of pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, fish, a bunny, and an imaginary monkey. Pepper does not like the spotlight, but is always available to answer questions at pepper@pepperspringfield.com.

Gr 1–4—Out of seven Bobs, six are slobs, and out of seven Tweets, six are neat. A deceptive realtor has both families believing they are moving into a neighborhood of like-minded people. But when the Bobs run their jet ski through the community pool while the Tweets practice their laps, lifeguard Mark intervenes and divides the pool in half with a rope: the left side for slobs and the right side for neats. The seventh member of each family, Tidy Dean Bob and Sloppy Lou Tweet, become friends as they discuss their differences. Rhyming text may entertain and provide syntactic cues for some newly independent readers, though the rhymes often seem contrived. Lively, full-color, full-page illustrations provide and extend many details of the text. Though the design is colorful and appealing, the story is ultimately forgettable. VERDICT A secondary purchase for larger chapter book collections.—Lindsay Persohn, University of South Florida, Tampa
