School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-During a sleepover, six boys and their dogs have the run of the attic at Patrick's house. They have a fine time with food, games, videos, and shadows made with their flashlights. Eventually the dogs crawl into their boys' sleeping bags, except for Mudge, who has one of his very own. The text and sentence structure seem simpler than some other Level 2 books, making this title one of the easier ones in the series. Stevenson's colorful cartoons capture the fun-filled antics of the active boys and their pets. All libraries will want to add this book to their beginning-reader collections.-Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR (c) Copyright 2010.
