"There's a delightful sense of foreboding and mystery in &amp;quot;29 Myths on the Swinster Pharmacy&amp;quot;, a title whose slightly off grammar itself reflects a kid's-eye view of the world. Parents may be quicker to see this as a telling reflection of childhood, when lots of things in your neighborhood or a nearby town are a mystery -- for example, how does that place stay in business when it seems like hardly anyone ever goes in there? \nKids may be frustrated on first read to discover there's no solution to the mystery and no punch line. The list just ends. But repeated readings bring added enjoyment to the intriguing clues and red herrings -- especially if the book is read aloud ominously. Lisa Brown's cartoon-like illustrations have a retro feel (the kids' TV has rabbit-ear antennae) and are loads of fun to pore over for amusing details -- like the black cat seen both in and out of the pharmacy and on a lost-pet poster. The cover opens out as a poster depicting a map of the area drawn by the siblings, which could inspire kids to map out their own neighborhoods and pinpoint mysterious places and goings-on worthy of investigation.
