Holm, J. (2014). Comics squad: Recess! NY: Random House.

Assignment #5- http://padlet.com/julietrevino716/y98ozd4mkocr 

This book is definitely thematic. As an adult I found it entertaining, surely for children this book would be among one of the popular.

Children all over the world can relate to recess/lunch time. It’s a

concept that has prior knowledge for many (though not everything exactly as it occurs in the story). The character highlights the action and adventures contained, all seen through a comic/written style. The “ninjas” allow further elaboration of the comic, which adds to the laughter. What is most appreciated is that the book attracts the most reluctant readers! Furthermore, having multiple stories adds to the laughter as each one if filled with

different “chapters/scenarios.”
