    <body><![CDATA[I actually picked up this book first, and after reading the first few chapters realized I needed to get Vol. 1 and 2. So, I knew a bit of what was going to happen to the characters when I read 1 and 2. That didn't spoil a thing. I loved getting into the mind of the dog and little Bertie.

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this installment of 44 Scotland Street stories much more than the second (Espresso Tales).  It was wonderful that Bruce moved away and we didn't follow him!  And yet we got to follow Domenica to Malaaca and her stint among the pirates!  There was less of Pat which I didn't mind either.

I couldn't help but laugh aloud as psychiatrist Dr. Fairchild attempted to delve into the psyche of our 6 year old hero, Bertie.
