[Fahula · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another amusing look at Hubie’s adventures related to his worries, fears, humourous misconceptions, overly literal interpretations, and overactive imagination. It is fun for older readers who feel rewarded when they “get” the full extent of the humour. The random drawings and nonfiction features are amusing. It might be fun to have students imitate both the author’s style and the illustrator’s quirky inclusions.
