A little tamer than the first round, but still full of irrepressible and hilarious kid adventures. Akissi really is the best, you know. Even with a new rival, Sido, the potential of a new baby in the house, and the usual challenges of being the brattiest little sister ever. Someone has to do it. ( )

Akissi, a little girl of the Ivory Coast, is such a fearless, mischievous scamp even Dennis the Menace would hide behind his mother's knees and say she's out of control. This time around she's dashing through traffic, doping the teacher who uses corporal punishment, handling two different types of feces, stealing crutches from a one-legged girl, and "borrowing" babies from the neighbors to use as living dolls.

Somehow she's just charming enough to pull it off and even get away with three fever dream fantasy sequences. ( )

This was fun, and Akissi is still lovable and annoying. The way she's always grabbing up random babies makes me laugh. I did get a little bored with so many of the comic revolving around the strict teacher. But not bad!
