The Best of Iggy

Annie Barrows (author of Ivy and Bean) wrote this Great Stone Face Nominee about a boy who always seems to get in trouble.  He's not a bad kid.  He just makes some bad decisions a lot of the time.  Think Horrible Harry or Junie B. Jones.  In this story, he lays out the three levels of things you shouldn't have done.  1.  Not too bad - you just got caught.   2.  Going a bit too far.   3.  Should NEVER have done it and you feel horrible.   Iggy provides one example of each in this story.  This was a funny book.  Iggy is likeable and relatable.  Students will enjoy its short length, easy readability, and many illustrations.  (FIC BAR)
