Sleepover Larry by Daniel Pinkwater


Rating: Marginal
Marshall Cavendish, 2007, $16.99
ISBN: 0761453148
Age/Grade Level: 1st-3rd grade



This story about a polar bear who wants to have a sleepover with his friends from the zoo is at best okay. The illustrations are not great. The story itself is okay. The bear has a sleepover and nothing really great happens except maybe for the food they eat (codfish cakes, blueberry muffins, codfish pizza, anchovies). Not a book I would highly recommend.
