Negative Positive
Title: Tom--by: Tomie dePaola
Review: This story basically tells of a time that a child, Tommy, spent with his beloved namesake grandfather, Tom. It tells of the innocence and gullibility of youth. In the story, Tommy's grandfather, who is a butcher, gives Tommy some chicken legs and shows him how to make them move. In turn, Tommy takes them to school with him and scares all the girls as well as a teacher. He spends the day in the principal's office, and a note is sent home. Tom tells Tommy that they will have to "think of something else to do." I would recommend this book for a child to read with a grandparent.
