A charming sequel. -- School Library Journal Praise for THE PROBLIM CHILDREN: Another heart-warming yarn centered on friendship and family. -- Booklist <strong>(starred review)</strong> Both text and illustrations offer a nod to Roald Dahl's quirky, juvenile heroes and equally quirky, nasty villains.
