    Returned.

    My boys had me return this book. They did not like the storyline and didn't find (nor I) the "strawberries and lime smelling fart" funny. They were confused by it. I have never been asked to return a book. It didn't seem to follow the same style as the other "How to Catch" books.

    The story is clever and a nice spin on monsters in the closet for small children! I will most definitely start collecting the series.
