Fantastic Read-A-Loud

This is one of my favorite books! Each chapter reads like a short story which makes it perfect for reading out loud. The stories are outrageous, but with a truthful ring. I've recommended it to several students and other teachers to read out loud, and it's always been very well received. Every time I've read the book I've laughed out loud (and I LOVE Harold's first date).

Shernoff discoveries

I rated this book four stars not five because it skipped around too much. I mean don't spend 50 pages on one thing, just develop them more. I understand why it was short in areas because it is a childs book, but for the most part the book was funny; like when they went fishing and Harold ate worms. It was sad like that narrator's parents were drunks.I also liked that in a way it reflected Gary Paulsen's life and thats what I liked about it.
