Hey. I'm sorry about not posting reviews in awhile. So here's my new one:
26 Fairmount Avenue is an autobiography. It is about a boy who lives in an apartment in Connecticut and is waiting for his new house to be built. The story starts in 1938. One of the things I liked about it was when Tomie (the boy) is with his great-grandma and they mistake laxatives for chocolates. I also liked it when Tomie goes to see the movie Snow White in the theater. He hates it so much that he yells at the screen (he didn't think it was like the original story).
This book was riveting because one good thing happened right after another. I give this story 5 stars because it was short and fun.
dePaola, Tomie. 26 Fairmount Avenue. New York: Penguin Puffin Books for Young Readers, 1999. 57 pages.
RL: Gr 3-5
FIVE STARS
