Review
Chico Bon Bon is back. Everywhere he looks at his school something is missing including books in the library, taco shells at lunch, and half a map from the classroom. Chew marks offer clues, and Chico discovers squirrels who have built a little school for themselves with all the stolen goods. With his tool belt and help from friends, he builds a new school for the lively squirrels. The humor comes in the understated comments and the detailed illustrations. Children who love looking closely to find things will be rewarded with lots to discover in each pencil, pen, and paint illustrations. This book can stand alone or enjoyed by children who know Chico from his earlier books beginning with Monkey with a Tool Belt.
