From Booklist:

First published in Spain in 1996, the third volume of the Manolito series opens as summer vacation begins and closes as the new school year gets under way. When his best friend, Big Ears, goes out of town, Manolito fears a summer of boredom, but he manages to entertain himself, and many readers will enjoy his droll, episodic narrative of everyday life in Carabanchel, a Madrid neighborhood. The lively line drawings underscore the story’s comedy, which ranges from bathroom humor of the most literal sort to a backspin of sly wit in seemingly straightforward observations of friends and kin. Grades 4-6. --Carolyn Phelan
