The ever-resourceful Chico Bon Bon responds to a noisy “AROOGA BOOM CLANG CLANG” that awakens him in the middle of the night by jumping out of bed and reaching for his tools. An intricate two-page spread shows Chico’s investigation from top to bottom and room to room of his imaginative tree-house abode. What IS that noise? Eventually he discovers a surprisingly large guest—Clark the elephant—in a shockingly tight space, where his kicks and struggles send thunderous reverberations throughout the dwelling. The tools and talents of the one and only Chico Bon Bon emancipate Clark, and the new friends sit down for lunch. Impressed by Chico’s tool belt, Clark wants one of his own—in size XXXXL. Playful panels, intricate illustrations, and creative use of text make this second installment of Chico Bon Bon an exciting tool for reading. (Ages 4–8)
