Seven
year old twins Tommy and Coop are known for their love of pulling pranks. They collect all sorts of
gadgets from a joke shop and use them to play tricks on their family, friends
and class mates. But on a school excursion to the museum with Mr. Crotchet, the
boys know they will have little opportunity for pranks. The button and knot
exhibition is shaping up to be as boring as they expected until they see a sign
which reads "Dinosaur Danger! Do Not Enter." Maybe there is a way to
pull the best prank ever? Or will they get pranked themselves?
Double
Trouble is a
new Australian series for boys, pitched to the five plus beginner readers
market. The boys are cheeky, funny and full of surprises. Each title is slim,
with short chapters, large font, easy words and plenty of pictures.
Louis
Shea is well-known for illustrating many children's picture books and this
series features his humorous illustrations and expressive characters which
emphasise the naughtiness and boy humour throughout.
