I was not impressed with this book. As I read through the book the first thing I noticed was the lack of creativity in the usuage of the word "said." On one page there were five lines of dialogue each with: said Frank or said Louey. As I was reading, the word "said" seemed too repetitive. As a middle school grade teacher I could use this book to teach that a variety of words makes the story less monotonous. It would be a challenge to see how many ways we could replace the word "said" and still mantain the story line. Also, the line, "Save me," said Frank. "Water's in my nose. I can't see.", caused some concern for me. What does water in the nose have to do with seeing. I am sure the author meant, "I have water in my nose and also, I can not see."
There are a lot of "great" books out there, and I didn't feel The Adventures of Louey and Frank was one of them.
