Jack the Tripper

The students at Benjamin Dizzie Elementary School are tripping . . . They’re flipping . . . They’re flying through the air! Who is the frightful villain terrorizing these poor, innocent children and – worst of all – making their homework disappear? Clues abound in this humorous cautionary tale about the consequences of telling a lie.

Reviews

School Library Journal: “The watercolor illustrations feature hilarious expressions, unique perspectives, and distinctive use of color to separate each child’s story from the background scene. Kids will enjoy finding visual clues to help them figure out what is going on.”

Kirkus Reviews: “Wall-to-wall drollery, both in Barretta’s illustrations and his text, which is sophisticated as well as accessible. Wodehouse with a dash of Gorey.”
