its almost summer time and nate is getting excited. He is getting ready for baseball and vacation but he is not ready for the over ripened bananas. this is a good book that is designed for 7 to 12 year old readers the reading style is challenging for younger readers but it is readable. the many pictures throughout the book help lower level readers understand the book and also allows them to take a break from the book without moving away from the topic. I will be honest this is not one of my favorite books but will say that it is a good book and will be enjoyed by many children and young teens.
A good book. It reminded me of the comics you'd find in a Sunday newspaper. Some of the jokes adults would found amusing. My 8-year-old enjoyed reading it and when she was finished. While some of it was silly, kid funny, I was surprised she enjoyed reading them so much because the jokes, for me, seemed to be written for someone older in mind. But she liked it, and I thought each "scene" was funny. This would be a great book to recommend to kids that hate chapter books.
