About the Author:
Daniel Pinkwater, probably the funniest man in North America and definitely the funniest commentator on National Public Radio, has written many books for adults and children. Have you read The Hoboken Chicken Emergency? He wrote that. Have you read the play Hamlet? He didn't write that. Jill Pinkwater, probably the most incredible woman in North America, has written and illustrated many books for children. She lives with the author in Hyde Park, New York, and she doesn't seem to mind.
From School Library Journal:
Grades 2-4--A disappointing story from two authors usually noted for their funny, creative writing. Mr. Talbot, a teacher and Werewolf Club adviser, takes the group on a field trip to Basketball Hall, the ancestral home of his uncle, Hugo Basketball. There they meet the Barrymores, the servants. Hugo hopes that the young werewolves can get rid of the monstrous Hound of the Basketballs that has plagued his family for generations. The "hound" turns out to be just a small, fat dog that the Barrymores have made gassy and frightening by feeding it knackwurst and sauerkraut-just to annoy the Basketballs. The main action here is eating knackwurst. There is little or no suspense or mystery. And there is no sports/basketball connection except for the name of the family. E. W. Hildick's and Patricia Reilly Giff's easy-to-read, humorous mysteries are much better choices.
