The Worst Helper Ever

"The Worst Helper Ever" is a very good book I thought. Farmer Pig has a lot of work to do so he decides to go into town to get some help. He runs into Charlie Cat and asks him to give him some help on the farm. The only problem is that Charlie Cat is very clumsy. He tries very hard to help him but every time he messes up Farmer Pig gets angry with him. It is very comical for a young reader especially since the illustrations are so good. At the beginning of the story when Farmer Pig first goes into town to get some help you realize what kind of person he is and also how different he is form Charlie Cat. On the way back home from town Charlie Cat offers to drive the truck so that shows that Charlie Cat is a good person to have help you. But on the way home as they're going over the bridge they fall in... that is how most of comical story goes. But at the end of the story Farmer Pig messes up but Charlie cat doesn't get mad at him like Farmer Pig did to him. Charlie cat tells him that everyone makes mistakes and that's true. I think it was a good moral to the story for younger readers and I think that they would learn a lot form this story.
