But Steven and his best friends, Russell and Zoopy the giant dog, are more than a match for the Feds.

From AudioFile
Every Saturday morning 11-year-old Steven helps his blind neighbor, Mr. Chickee, do his shopping. Before leaving for vacation Mr. Chickee gives Steven a bill that contains 15 zeroes. Is it REAL? Steven, his buddy Russell, and huge dog Zoopy try to figure out the money with Agent Fondoo from the U.S. Treasury Department. Narrator Joe Holt skillfully captures American and Jamaican accents, shares such memorable lines as--"This candy is so good it's worth the tooth decay!"--and vocally illustrates the unmistakable differences of a very large dog and a very small dog. A additional benefit is Steven's use of Grandpa's dictionary, through which he and listeners learn new words. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
