Meet the Mudcrusts! Lowbrow Mudcrust is the lumbering, lazy head of the family, who is happiest when he is squelching his toes in the slime. That doesn't stop his wife Flora from nagging him and reminding him that he's not the chief of the tribe. Their two children, Bogweed and Fungus, are always fighting. Although Fungus doesn't have Bogweed's brute strength, he is does have more brains. The fourth and final book in the Mudcrusts series, Chief Troubles follows the trials of Lowbrow to become chief of the tribe.
