Kindergarten-Grade 2?Squirting flowers? Flying dollar bills? Singing trees? It's April Fool's Day in Mud Flat, and everyone is trying to trick everyone else. There are some silly pranks and some inspired ones. Some work and others fall flat, but all of the gags are sure to tickle children's funny bones and give teachers an opening for discussing what is fun and what is not. What Stevenson's The Night After Christmas (Morrow, 1981) does for the after-Christmas blahs, and Un-Happy New Year, Emma! (Greenwillow, 1989; o.p.) does for New Year's Day, this latest Mud Flat adventure does for April Fool's Day. The author cleverly introduces the calendar event through a series of humorous vignettes starring his familiar woodland creatures. The engaging watercolor cartoons are appealing, but quite small, and are best suited to one-on-one sharing. The easy vocabulary and short chapters also make this a good choice for children ready to move beyond beginning readers.?Marty Abbott Goodman, L.J. Bell Elementary School, Rockingham, NC

Gr. 1^-3. Stevenson is in good form in this chapter-book roundup of 10 wry, sweet stories that adds yet another page to the Mud Flat holiday calendar. The April Fools' Day jokes fly fast and furiously here, with most backfiring in some goofy way on the animal joke players. Stevenson's watercolor and pen-and-ink artwork catches the comedy beautifully, and his use of dialogue rather than narrative to convey the goings-on makes the reading easier. Great for new readers as well as the Mud Flat animals' legions of fans. Stephanie Zvirin
