Reading Level: 4-8
Genre: Picture Book

This book is about a young boy who's father asks him everyday what he saw walking home from school. This day there is only a little cart being pulled by a mule. He decides that isn't good enough, so he starts making up more things, starting with a zebra instead of a mule. Then he starting adding sleighs and elephants, and ends up with a whole parade and a prince and the police as an escort. He runs in the house to tell his father about all these things, and ends up just telling him the truth.

I would reccomend this book to children of all ages, but to the younger ones in particular. Also, I was reading this to a little autistic boy i work with, and he wanted me to read it again and again, and he does NOT like reading, so i think tyhis book would be especially good for kids who need to gain a loove for reading.

I don't see this book causing any problems, it actually teaches kids to NOT lie to their parents.

My reaction: This is a great book. Has a wonderful beat.

My rating: ****
