Roscoe again faces time-outs in these lively if formulaic chapter books. In Talk, Roscoe and his friend plot to get some cool new kicks. In Pumpkin, Roscoe's superstitions may derail his attempts to guess the weight of a giant pumpkin and win the candy prize. Serviceable black-and-white illustrations depict rascally Roscoe's adventures.
