The Fraser brothers are back in this lighthearted sequel to "No Dogs Allowed." Now entering fourth grade, Jason wonders if it isn't time to find a new look in clothing and acquires an unwanted girlfriend whom Mrs. Fraser unwittingly invites to dinner. Edward, a first-grader, must face a pre-Halloween haunted house complete with spaghetti brains, and experiences mother-hood up close when his pet rat Spike, who isn't supposed to, has babies. With humorous black-and-white drawings, these five stories perfectly capture teh brothers' never-ending adventures.
