The Mammoth Academy

LEXILE 880

The Mammoth Academy by Neal Layton is a strange little book. Cute illustrations and a very quick read but not much substance. I thought it would be a good read-aloud for my dinosaur-loving summer school students, but references to body odor and hitting things with sticks are not necessarily topics I want to introduce to this group. Also, hard to believe the high Lexile level.

Note: For some inexplicable reason our "going-into-fourth-fifth-and-sixth-grade" boys loved my Junie B. Jones read-alouds this summer! Go figure.
