Those two bad boys -- Willy and Wally -- are still bad. Bad. Bad. Really, really bad. And now they have two big bad sweet tooths. When the baker's cookie runs off, these newly cloaked private eyes, "Willis and Wallace," see their chance to "Get Cookie!" But this is one smart cookie, and the pair may require a plan B. Can this terrible and terribly hungry duo satisfy their hankering before their new disguises land them in ill-fated trouble? Margie Palatini and Henry Cole reunite for a rollicking fairy-tale follow-up to their hilarious bad boys. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.

K-Gr 3 Palatini and Cole follow up their hilarious Bad Boys (HarperCollins, 2003) with another pun-filled adventure replete with tomfoolery, fairy-tale references, and attempted cookie thievery. Willy and Wally are still Bad. Bad. Really, really bad. When a baker's little treat hops off the cookie sheet and is on the lam, the wily wolves pose as detectives and attempt to capture the delicious runaway. After going out on a limb fails to land the prize, the duo switch gears and try plan B, disguising themselves as Hansel and Gretel. Failing again, they experience another moment of brain ditto and plan to trap the runaway with honey. But the spicy cookie continually taunts Willy and Wally with the refrain sure to be repeated by children: Na-na-ni-na-na! Lookee! Lookee!/You can't get me. I'm one smart cookie! Eventually the sassy cookie gets his comeuppance in the form of a hungry croc, and, although their attempts at capturing and snacking are repeatedly foiled, the scheming wolves find a new target. Those who enjoyed this dastardly duo in the previous title are sure to get a kick out of this entry, which will make for a rollicking read-aloud. Piper L.
