Review

Praise for the ROSCOE RILEY series: Applegate perfectly captures the voice of kids in this fast-paced, funny title. Children will love the short chapters, kid ingenuity, and comical illustrations. --School Library Journal"

Applegate s writing is strong and lively, and the short sentences, funny situations, and frequent appearance of pictures will make this series an easy sell to novice readers. Adult readers-aloud will also appreciate the understated humor of Roscoe s narrative and nod in recognition at the goings-on. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"

Roscoe is an appealing, lively kid whose story is both entertaining and thought-provoking, and Biggs expressive pencil drawings add to the humor --ALA Booklist"
