Penrod is a most lovable character. In the five short tales that make up this title, the reader relates to the simple ideals of a young Penrod and his older, wiser friend, Griswold. The two are quite a pair as Griswold tries to help Penrod through some common dilemas. When trying to find pants "just like the ones Grandma sent", a child will relate to Penrod's idea of an identical match and Griswold's exasperation in helping him find it. Common courtesy is not always easy, and Penrod has a comical way of being courteous and still getting the last cookie! Children as well as adults will get a chuckle out of these 'life lessons' geared to the young readers. This is a great book to read at storytime, as an animated oral presentation brings it to life!! My kindergartners loved it!!

In a wonderful book by Mary Blount Christian, an Old English sheepdog named Sebastian helps his owner, John Quincy Jones, solve a mysterious crime of an empty time capsule that was supposed to have been from over 5 decades ago. The young and old will enjoy this all-time children's classic!

When a limo driver gets sick in the forest and the only person who hears him moaning is his younger brother, can the younger brother still imitate his brother's voice? The answer is YES. A bunch of CEO's frame him of kidnapping an important oil person (who was a crook in himself). This is a book of exciting escapes, poisonous snakes, girls about age of the limo driver's younger brother, blowing hurricanes, and mean old CEO's.

I think that this was a so-so book.But I have read much better documenteries on bigfoot.It would be a good book for readeres between the ages of 6-8 to read. It was way to short for me though!!!!! And if you are a bigfoot believer like myself I suggest a different book for you.
