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

James visits Eamon's grandparents so the 2 boys could go to Nature Camp for a week. In this enthusiastic volume, the boys hang out, have fun on the beach, negotiate with Eamon's penguin loving grandfather and generally have fun. The book extoles the traditional summer joys of doing what you want, eating fun food, and creating something just for the fun of it. The illustrations are lively, and subtle, sometimes contradicting the text. Great fun. A Caldecott Honor Book. A Couple of Boys have the Best Week Ever by Marla Frazee. Harcourt, Inc., 2008.
