Mr. Chickee's Funny Money

By: Christopher Paul Curtis

Narrated by: Joe Holt

Mr. Chickee, the genial blind man in the neighborhood, gives 9-year-old Steven a mysterious bill with 15 zeros on it and the image of a familiar but startling face. Could it be a quadrillion dollar bill? Could it be real? Well, Agent Fondoo of the U.S. Treasury Department and his team of Secret Government Agents are determined to get that money back! But Steven and his best friends, Russell and Zoopy the giant dog, are more than a match for the Feds. After all, Steven is the president of the Flint Future Detectives Club, and the inventor of fantastic spying and detecting equipment such as the Snoopeeze 9000!

Please write book 3

This series is amongst my children and my favorites. It is laugh out loud funny and the world building is fantastic. My son and his best friend think that if you finish the series it might be the best series they have ever read. I too long for that next Mr. Chickee book.

I was so excited to share it with his 9 year old brother tonight. He is guffawing away next to me as I type this. He too is going to want book 3 when we finish book 2. He just told me “This is the funniest book ever.”

Thank you for creating these books. Funny books are all too rare. I am so grateful Mr. Curtis brought Mr. Chickee into the world and into my life with my children.

You are on my list of the greats, along withwith Cressida Cowell, Terry Pratchett, Suzanne Selfors, Roald Dahl, Dav Pilkey, Neal Layton, and Francesca Simon.

Laughing together is the best and sharing your books with my kids have been highlights of my life. Thank you, Mr. Curtis!

Another wonderful book

Mr. Curtis is truly my favorite writer of all time. His style of humor and imagination take you to a happy place that many different age groups can enjoy.
