Stuart's Cape

by Sara Pennypacker

Book Overview

A quick, inventive chapter book featuring an unusual hero--an eight-year-old worrier. We meet Stuart pressed against a rainy window, worried and bored. Worried, because hundreds of things could go wrong in a new house, a new town, a new school.

An Absolute Adventure

I loved Stuart's Cape. It is a great book that tells of the imaginative adventures of the main character Stuart. He goes through such adventures as sleeping on a giant bed made of toast to floating high in the sky and the only way down is to eat pound cake. The illustrations that accompany the story bring the entire book to life. This is truly a great read for anybody of any age.

Stuart's Imagination

I like Stuart's Cape because he always goes for what he wants and he has a wild imagination. I liked it because Stuart is one crazy kid. Because, who would play hide-and-go seek and have a bed made out of toast?! By Unity

Stuart's Cape

Stuart's Cape by Sara Pennypacker is a wonderful story about a very imaginative boy. He has many adventures while wearing his cape, from flying because he ate too much light and fluffy angel food cake to growing his favorite food: toast with butter. I liked this story because it showed how imaginative kids can be. It also made me think about using my own imagination. Sara Pennypacker has a great imagination if she can come up with such a funny story. I can't wait to read her next book!

Stuart's Cape

Stuart's Cape by Sara Pennypacker is a crazy story! Stuart has a magic cape and he planted toast seeds because he likes toast with butter. The toast grew huge! Everyone in the city was able to eat it. He also played hide and go seek with animals. He has a wild imagination! I liked this story because Stuart has a great imagination. It made me laugh out loud when the cat and the garbage man traded places! The author wrote a fantasy and she wanted us to use our imaginations.

HAHAHAHAHA!

I loved this book. It was very funny and sweet. Stuart's like a precocious Walter Mitty. And the illustrations were really cool, too!
