If you look at the cover just right & the backpack resembles a giant face. The front pocket even says feed me. The chapters inside this picture book include History Man; Volcano, or Candy is Dandy; Jet: Super Backpack Girl; & Day of the Living Backpack. Histo More...

I am very curious to share this with students and see what they think.
I thought it was hilarious. But the humor is fairly sophisticated--for example, on page 5 ... "In ancient Greece an inventor named GottaLottaStuffus created what he called a 'Packus Backus,' Which menat "Pack back.' The name never caught on."
I will update my review when I've had some kids look at it!

Forgive me but I'm confused. This is about school children, probably second-graders. But it's a picture book. And it's not 'educational' and isn't likely to be bought by the teacher to enhance lessons. So, who's reading it? I did and thought it ok, pretty funny in bits, but to whom would I recommend it? Off to read other reviews...

Genre: Picture book, young/middle readers
Not a picture book for the very young. There is humore, but geared to a young/middle reader. I didn't really enjoy the book and found it hard to get through. Maybe young/middle readers will enjoy it better than I did, but some may feel distracted as well.

A juvenile graphic novel of silly stories about backpacks - the history of the backpack, a superhero with a backpack and a cautionary tale about a backpack out of control.
Sure to delight any 2nd to 4th grader!

The stories are a little confusing for the target audience to follow. It's amusing to me, but I'm not sure the kids really get it.

Laugh-out-loud funny. Just the type of book that Jorrien would love to read to a niece or nephew. :)

Four separate stories tell, in words and cartoons, the surprising history and activities of the ordinary backpack.
