The Terrible Two, by Mac Barnett and Jory John, illustrated by Kevin Cornell

We have had another raving success with chapter books. I went to the library determined not to get any books for Jude as he had half a dozen already in his ‘to-be-read’ pile. But when ‘The Terrible Two‘  was flung off the bookshelf by the baby it grabbed my attention. A book about kids who love pranking sounds like a real winner, and it totally was.

We have read a few books by one of the authors, Mac Barnett, my favourite being ‘The Skunk‘. His picture books are a little quirky and make you think a bit more and look a bit deeper.

‘The Terrible Two’ has two main characters, Niles and Miles, who start out as enemies, but their love of pranking brings them together as friends. They start out pulling pranks on each other and end up taking on the challenge to prank the whole school.

The good news for my Grade 1 boy is that there is another book in the series and one about to be released.
