A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever by Marla Freeze

This is an hysterical tale about two boys, James and Eamon, who go to nature camp together. They stay at Eamon's grandparents house at night where the well-meaning grandparents try to interest them in educational activities. However, the boys will have none of it and spend their time at the beach or playing video games. Finally, on the last night they surprise the grandparents with a nature activity of their own. The book is full of delightful illustrations that kids will love. There is even a seashell activity on the end dust jacket flap. This tale of friendship and vacation would be a great read aloud for students before school gets out for the summer.

  1. I second this nomination. I enjoyed reading it and the illustrations and side comments truly add to the humor. Even the cover has a joke on it about the book's price.
