The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer
Picture Book Read Aloud
book summary
What did you do this summer? No, what did you really do? The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer is full of imagination and keeps readers wondering what did really happen over the summer break. In response to a prompt by his teacher, the main character begins to share an increasingly tall tale about how he spent his summer vacation. His magical tale involves pirates, a treasure map, a submarine, flying machines, and more. This story is full of fun from the front cover showing the boy and his dog entangled in the arms of an octopus to the back cover showing the enlarged suction cups of the octopus. The story is delightful, but make sure you are paying close attention to the illustration so you don’t miss out on any fun details. This book is perfect to read before asking your students to tell what they did on their summer vacation….but be prepared for the tales they might share with you!
