pictures are funny, along with the funny book. I would use this book on a rainy day because it is very entertaining. ( )

This book is a lot like the boy who cried wolf. John Patrick Norman McHennessy comes to school and tells the teacher something that would be hard to believe so he never believes it...until he is in that situation. This book is great to teach students about treating others how they want to be treated. I believe 4-8 year old children would be the perfect age to read this book and I would ask about when something like this had happened to them and how they would handle this situation ( )

Humorous book for young children.

This book is quite silly, but as a child I was afraid of the illustrations!

I liked this book because it was silly and would be predictable for children. ( )

This book was about a young boy who was always late for school due to some unbelievable reason that his teacher never believed. Then in a twist of events one day he is on-time but his teacher is late due to an unbelievable reason and John doesn't believe his teacher.

I liked this book because it is kind of humorous and it would be a good prediction story for the classroom.

I think this book would be best for grades 2nd or 3rd. ( )
