Title: Joe and Sparky Go to School
Joe the giraffe and his sidekick Sparky the turtle reside in a cageless zoo. After accidentally stowing away on a field trip bus which has toured the park, Joe and Sparky find themselves as students at the local school. When they eat the peas they are supposed to count and gasp at the pond that disappears in the bathroom (ok, it's a flushing toilet), they discover school may not be the place for them … but they will always be good friends.
There are some serious giggle inducing moments in this latest adventure of Joe and Sparky. The story and humor in this book are 100% kid friendly. It has some Amelia Bedelia moments, like when the teacher tells them to paint something they love and Joe literally paints Sparky. Kids will appreciate that.
This is an early chapter book with a few sentences and graphics on every page. The story has enough substance for four distinct chapters which each revolve around a specific adventure during their day. Every kid I have given this book to has loved it and laughed. How can you resist that?
This is a fun, clever book for kids starting chapter books. Joe and Sparky is long enough to give kids a solid feeling of accomplishment without making them feel overwhelmed.
