Dillweed’s Revenge by Florence Parry Heide-OPTIONAL

Dillweed's Revenge: A Deadly Dose of Magic
Heide, Florence Parry, Dillweed’s Revenge. Harcourt, 2010. PICTURE BOOK.

EL - OPTIONAL

Dillweed lives in a huge house with a maid and a butler. Whenever his parents go out of town, however, Dillweed is forced to do the maid and butler’s jobs. Will Dillweed find a way to get out of his misery?

A disturbing picture book that will interest older readers who like fantasy, horror, and magic. The illustrations are well-done. The text is simple and easy to understand. In general, however, this book would be best as an optional purchase.
