Perkins, Lynne Rae
Frank and Lucky Get Schooled
Greenwillow Books, 2016 (HarperCollins).
$17.99 PICTURE BOOK Content: G.
A little boy named Frank and his black dog named Lucky have a lot in
common and they love each other. When
Frank goes to school he learns all sorts of new things, and while Lucky is at
home he learns new things from nature.
When they are back together they teach each other what they have learned
as Frank talks about what he has learned and Lucky shows Frank new
discoveries.
The idea behind this book
is that what kids learn at school can be applied to life, but the author takes
on too big a scope of topics. She tries
to connect art, math, science, etc. by picking specific elements of those
subjects and it’s too overwhelming. The
illustrations are mediocre with too much going on and my six year old son told
me after three pages that it was boring and he wanted me to read something else—not
a good sign.
