Genre: Fiction
Here Comes trouble has great characteristics and picture illustrations where students can see emotions without even looking at the words. This book is a way to show readers that it is not okay to be rude to others and to think they are any better than the rest. This book talks about respect and accepting others and is something all children could be reminded of. Having animals in the book can relate to children's background knowledge.
In the book "Here Comes Trouble" a dog named Toby has to deal with the neighbor cat, that he does not like staying with his family. In the beginning Toby is worried about how no one notices when Pandora does things that are wrong. When Pandora gets stuck in a tree and no one notices it is up to Toby to inform the humans. In the end they become friends. This is an easy to read book with a fun story. This book would be a good one to read to a class for fun or to have in a classroom of beginner readers. It could also be used to talk about good behavior or doing the right thing. The illustrations in this book are not realistic but are fun.
