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

PreK-2. James and Eamon ("AY-mun") spend a week at Nature Camp at Eamon's grandparents' (Bill and Pam) house on the beach. Bill attempts to engage the boys in nature-based activities (i.e. hiking, a visit to the penguin exhibit at the Natural History Museum, map skills ect...), but the boys spend most of their time eating (Pam is a fabulous cook), watching TV, and enjoying the beach. Their last day at camp becomes their most memorable as they use rocks, sticks, and shells to recreate Antarctica. This is a humorous book with beautiful illustrations. It really taps into the way kids think and play, and their unique brand of humor. This title is great for one-on-one book sharing or for silent reading.
