I found this book to be highly entertaining! It tells the story of George Washington (GW) and his two friends that are class pets at an elementary school. They have an enemy in the school, a mouse named Harriet who appears to always be trying to get GW into trouble or worse sent to another school.
This book would be highly engaging for students who are not yet ready to transition from a picture book to a full on chapter book. The comics lend well to the understanding and visualization of what is going on in the story to help with overall reader comprehension. It would teach students about determination and friendship! I also like how this is a book that is a part of a series that way if a student enjoyed this book, then there would be others they would likely be interested in reading as well!
