[Sara Bland]

Based off of the wildly popular Thornberrys tv cartoon on Nickelodeon, the family is at it again. The moral of the story here is positive with some connections to the ages-old "the boy who cried wolf." This book was fun with nicely developed paragraphs featuring many words per page and fewer pictures. The illustrations that were present were nicely placed and helped highlight the story, which might help keep young readers engaged. I would recommend this to children in grades 1st-3rd.

A childhood favorite.
