Ten stories. Eleven children’s literary masters. One book filled with humorous stories with lots of boy appeal, including:
- A broccoli loving boy must save the world after his parents give his bedroom to a biker
- A turkey is the seemingly perfect son for a manly man of a father – much to the real son’s fearful surprise.
- Two best friends with a difference of opinion as to who is the real idiot of the duo.
LikesThis book would be great for a reluctant reader as it is full of short, interesting stories that grab the attention. Most of the stories are quite funny.
Dislikes
I’ll admit that while there was a humor factor present throughout most of the tales, there was also a creepiness factor in a couple of them. Most notably, David Yoo’s “A Fistful of Feathers” (the turkey story). Geesh. Maybe that was due to reading the story a few days before Halloween.
That being said, I think it would be a great story to read to a 4th-8th grade class around Halloween.
