Three Stories High

Steve Pitt is a Toronto-based freelance writer and an award-winning journalist. He has written many young adult and children's books, including Day of the Flying Fox: The True Story of World War II Pilot Charley Fox.

Curly, Johnny-Bob, Rufus, and Shorty are the Bungalo Boys. They like to
spend their time doing he-man things like roping and branding hardwood
trees or playing mixed hockey with penguins and grizzly bears. Ma
Bungalo and Projectile the Wonder Dog tag along as near-normal
sidekicks.

The three adventure stories in this Bungalo Boys collection were
previously published separately as Last of the Tree Ranchers, Bushmen
Brouhaha, and Champions of Hockey. In each Bungalo Boys adventure
author/illustrator John Bianchi counterbalances deadpan prose with
distinctive off-the-wall cartoons. The story lines are bizarre enough in
themselves, but with illus-trations that seem to be simultaneously
influ-

enced by Monty Python and Alfred Hitchcock, Bianchi consistently
produces superb tales of red-blooded North American silliness.

These stories leave the reader wondering only one thing. Why aren’t
there any Bungalo Girls? Highly recommended.
