Alvin Ho: Allergic To Camping, Hiking and Other Natural Disasters

by Lenore Look (J Look)(2009)
Alvin Ho is afraid of many, many things. In the first Alvin Ho book, he was afraid of girls, school and other scary things like the dark and elevators. Alvin has now moved onto second grade, after mastering his first grade fears. He is an Asian-American boy, who is just a bit different from other boys. He lives in Concord, Massachusetts, where they love fireworks. He has an older brother Calvin, and a younger sister Anibelly.
Alvin's latest fear is going camping with his dad. He might see bears, or have to use a pit toilet! He brought a PDK (personal disaster kit) to school and he's got one for camping, too. He'll need night goggles, a flashlight, and water purifying tablets. Along the way he has many silly adventures, like getting stuck in a box while trying to be Houdini. Alvin includes a "Very Scary Glossary" for us in at the end of the second book.
This is a silly, fun read about being a little bit different. Cute illustrations sprinkle the pages.SC
