I picked this book because it is somewhat like a comic in ways. It has ridicules characters and an even more ridicules story line. The first time I read it to a group of 5th graders and we laughed so hard... I would like to think it was because of the accent I used:)
Anyway if you need something light, with goofy pictures, and want to laugh... check it out!
Sounds like a great book. My 5th grade students would probably love it.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have found some more that are serious. My object for you to look at picture books was to see that not all of the topics are for younger kids but rather find some serious topics. Let me know if you need help.

This really does sound a like a great book. There are days that I know my students and I definitely need some comic relief! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWell... I think funny books are just as important as serious!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late response. Crazy week. It sounds like a fun book that would be great to use for filler time in class. I also liked the book The Boy Who Burned Too Brightly. It reminds me of the Hallmark movie In Front of the Class which is about a boy with Turrets and his journey to acceptance with it and eventually becoming a teacher. It shows that we all have differences, it's what we do with it that counts.
