A chuckle for eveyone!

Penrod is a most lovable character. In the five short tales that make up this title, the reader relates to the simple ideals of a young Penrod and his older, wiser friend, Griswold. The two are quite a pair as Griswold tries to help Penrod through some common dilemas. When trying to find pants "just like the ones Grandma sent", a child will relate to Penrod's idea of an identical match and Griswold's exasperation in helping him find it. Common courtesy is not always easy, and Penrod has a comical way of being courteous and still getting the last cookie! Children as well as adults will get a chuckle out of these 'life lessons' geared to the young readers. This is a great book to read at storytime, as an animated oral presentation brings it to life!! My kindergartners loved it!!
