Backpack Stories

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-0504-5 $16.99
(4) K-3 Told in comic book format, this collection of tales about student backpacks includes a faux TV history presentation, use of a backpack as a science experiment, a superhero adventure, and a hungry backpack with an endless appetite. There is humor to be found, but the stories might have benefited from a more cohesive presentation.
