In this heartwarming and hilarious title from award-winning author
Caroline Adderson's delightful Izzy series, Isabel and Zoë are ready to
have a big amount of fun at summer camp. But is summer camp ready for
Izzy?
Isabel and Zoë are so excited to be starting Fun in the Sun Camp! It's
too bad Isabel's dog, Rollo, isn't allowed, but the songs and sports,
wiener roasts and crafts, swimming and storytelling will surely make up
for that, right? Wrong! It turns out, the camp counselors do a big
amount of saying no: NO singing your own song, NO running like a
penguin, NO trading lunches (even when your sandwich bread is mushy from
pickle juice!). Isabel wants to have her own Bigger Amount of Fun in the
Sun Camp in the backyard, with Rollo, instead. But will Isabel's mom
let her? And what will they do about Mr. Entwistle, their neighbor who
lives on the grumpy side of the fence?
Award-winning author Caroline Adderson is a master at telling stories
that keep early-chapter-book readers engaged, amused and laughing out
loud. This series about the lovable Izzy delivers kid-perfect subjects,
lovable characters, loads of humor - and a dog! This title works for
both independent reading and reading aloud, with just enough fun-filled
illustrations by Kelly Collier - one on nearly every spread - to keep
the pages accessible. The side story about the older Mr. Entwistle
touches on the theme of death in an accepting and respectful way and
supports social-emotional learning and character education lessons on
empathy.
