Actually, Alvin Ho Allergic to Camping, Hiking and Other Natural Disasters by Lenore Look with pictures by LeUyen Pham is what I want to talk about. Alvin Ho, perpetual worrier, verbally precocious and member of the all around wonderful Ho family, is back. And this time his dad is going to take him camping. Now Alvin has a whole new slew of things to worry about: bears, getting lost, rain, spider bites, and how to explain all the emergency gear Alvin and his brother buy online using the emergency credit card. Pham's lively illustrations are a true enhancement to the story, not just an extra. Alvin, his friends, and family are fully realized characters. And the jokes are funny. What's not to love? Coming in June. 978-0-375-85705-8
Made me think of:
Junie B. Jones series, by Barbara Park
Marvin Redpost series, by Louis Sachar
