The Meanwhile Adventures

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Ajhar. When Mr. Mack applies for a bank loan for his invention (a saw that resembles a machine gun), he gets arrested. Meanwhile, his sons dig a tunnel to his jail cell, and his dog, his daughter, and her friend search for Mrs. Mack, who is secretly setting a world record. Fans of the silly and gross will enjoy the somewhat uninspired but fast-paced nonsense.
