Baloney (Henry P.)


by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith





Baloney is the story of Henry, who was late to school one too many times... His out-of-this-world teacher tells him he better have a good, believable excuse for being late. This is when Henry's outrageous story begins, starting with losing his trusty zimulus! What's a zimulus, you ask? Travel through space with Henry on this crazy story/crazy word adventure.

I LOVE this story! Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith are a couple of my favorite book people, and they totally keep me entertained through this whole book. A great read for kids of all ages, especially kids who make up stories for being late, losing homework, not listening, etc... though I'm sure I've never had one of MY students make up a crazy story like that!
