Sarah Mackenzie talked with Mem Fox the other week on Read Aloud Revival. Ms. Fox recommended reading this book aloud.
Billy is not impressed by much. Whenever his father presents impressive situations or objects, his reply is, "Whatever". A funny ending (but may bother sensitive readers).
Simple text and illustrations, but effective!!
Teaching idea: superlatives, "change the y to i and add est" examples, a writing prompt to share what happens to Billy after the end.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
