Customer Reviews

Comical, with great lessons

Adventures of Boone Barnaby is a classic for boys and girls alike. Boone and his friends trying to raise money for the their soccer team to go to the champianship by holding a Trashathon was the funniest part. The quick whit of the characters and the creative twist of events left my class wondering if it was wrong to think unkindly about the old miser in the story. A great tool for discussions about fairness, truth, and justice. I read this to my sixth graders and they ALL recommended it to the fifth grade class!
