Description
Martin Bridge is back. Martin Bridge: On the Lookout! features three more illustrated stories about Martin's well-laid plans unravelling. This time, he has to entertain an unwanted guest, share lunch with a boy who eats erasers and embark on a madcap search for his school's escaped pet parakeet.
The daily discoveries, disappointments and triumphs of childhood --- at home, at school and with friends --- are evoked with humor and warmth.

Martin's second outing provides more of what made the first book work so beautifully. Martin Bridge is worth looking out for.
