Fans of Junie B. Jones should find it easy to like this series of early chapter books. Roscoe Riley is a typical first grade boy with an incomplete understanding of all the rules governing polite behavior and a tendency to get into trouble. In this, the first of his misadventures, he decides to get creative with the art supplies in an effort to help his brand new teacher, Ms. Diz, have a perfect open house. How his plans backfire -- and how everyone deals with the ensuing disaster -- make for a quick and entertaining read. Thoroughly likable.
