Illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From Lisa Yee and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat, a hilarious sequel to <i>Bobby vs. Girls (Accidentally).</i><p></p>In his last adventure, Bobby Ellis-Chan got stuck to a stinky tree, had underwear attached to his back, and faced down a whole wolfpack of girls.
