Cecil and his amphibian pals are taking a well-deserved break after saving their pond from freeway construction when a third-grade science class shows up for a field trip. The kids nab Cecil for their classroom terrarium! At first Cecil is terrified, but he quickly gets used to being a class pet. That is, until Nesbit the chameleon shows up. Nesbit wants to be just like Cecil, so he matches his colors and follows him all around the terrarium. He's driving Cecil crazy! Meanwhile, Cecil's pals back at the pond are planning a rescue mission using Jeff the hamster's radio controlled helicopter. But what will they do about Nesbit? Join the whole pond gang for this second delightful environmental romp.

      Gr 2-5-The second volume of the "Stinky Cecil" series begins calmly enough, with Cecil the toad lounging on the banks of his beloved pond on a perfect summer's day. But before he can begin working on his tan, he's nabbed by kids who can't wait to put him in their classroom terrarium. While Cecil tries to acclimate to his new environment, his pond buddies attempt a rescue mission in a tiny helicopter. This fast-paced adventure will draw in young readers, with new addition Nesbit Chameleon lending even more humor to Cecil's merry band of pals. Simple lines and vibrant cartoon illustrations further add to the book's appeal. But what really sets the story apart is Braddock's deft placement of scientific facts throughout her tale: readers will devour fascinating info about the chameleon and garter snake (for example, did you know that garter snakes use their tongues to smell?) and even learn how to build a terrarium. VERDICT A good continuation of a successful series that will appeal to elementary-age readers (and their teachers).-Laura Lintz, Henrietta Public Library, Rochester, NY
