This fantastical, quirky picture book has mesmerizing illustrations and a seemingly simple format: a repetitive rule book for getting through summer adventures. Larger topics such as bullying and the arbitranary nature of some rules can be discussed with older students.

I am getting obsessed with Shaun Tan's books. This was a great picture book. Basically its rules what not to do during the summer and it shows two boys getting in a lot of trouble. The artwork is just simply stunning and it is what keeps me coming back to read more from this author. ( )

this book is a fun twist on a Childs fairytale summer, these kids had one of the most imaginative summer ever, the simplest action like 'never be late for a parade' could mean anything from literally never being late to a parade, to possibly sitting next to a one eyed alien and a blue dinosaur as a consequence of being late to a parade. This book is very creative, and will allow kids to be as creative as they would like to be. ( )

Summary: A girl who is transported to another dimension and helps out a family who lives there.

This book has an abstract meaning behind it that I didn't quite understand. I think it can spark an interesting conversation with students but it is definitely targeted towards an older audience. ( )
