About the Author
Allan Ahlberg is one of the most acclaimed and successful authors of children's books. His books for Walker include The Mysteries of Zigomar; Monkey Do!; Mockingbird; The Bravest Ever Bear; The Snail House; Treasure Hunt; and the other two books in the series about the Gaskitt family, The Man Who Wore All His Clothes and The Cat Who Got Carried Away. Katharine McEwen is the illustrator of the two other titles in the Gaskitts series, as well as the picture book Cows in the Kitchen, several titles in the Walker Brand New Readers series; the Read Me series; four Sam's Science books and two non-fiction picture books by Meredith Hooper to be published later this year: Sticky Jam and Woolly Jumper.
From Booklist
Gr. 2-4. In this sequel to The Man Who Wore All His Clothes (2001), Mrs. Gaskitt has an extraordinary run of good luck; Mr. Gaskitt continues his succession of jobs; and the twins, Gus and Gloria, become enthralled by substitute teacher Mrs. Plum, who seems too good to be true. Using a cinematic style, Ahlberg cuts back and forth from one story strand to another, gradually revealing clues regarding the sweet Mrs. Plum, who offers everyone chocolates while money and possessions mysteriously disappear. The twins are the first to suspect their substitute, but it isn't until Mrs. Gaskitt plows into Mrs. Plum, causing her suitcase to explode, that the missing items are found. McEwen's colorful, cartoonlike illustrations are a perfect complement for Ahlberg's understated, comic style, and there are several running gags, including a doormat with an ever-changing message, that will keep young readers engaged. The format (short chapters, large print, and easy-reader-style text placement) will appeal to beginning readers, and the sophisticated plot will intrigue slightly older ones. This is a great choice for any reader who appreciates clever writing and humor. Kay Weisman
