DaWild, DaCrazy, DaVinci by Jon Scieszka
DaWild, DaCrazy, DaVinci is a series of books specifically made for the enjoyment of boy readers. I read this chapter book because I am doing my API on Jon Scieszka and I had no idea he created chapter books. I was under the impression that he only made picture books such as The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs. In this book the three main characters are young boys. These boys refer themselves as the "time warp trio." I believe they are the same trio in every book of this series. This book has a lot of dialogue between th eboys. I like how he actually used phrases that young children would say such as " I know youare, but what am I?" I liked this book because of the humor it had, I even laughed out loud at some of the witty coments made. The boys travel back in time and in this case they get stuck in the years when Leonardo DaVinci was alive. In this book, DaVinci often talks about how he writes things in his book and journals in code like backwards and such. So, to keep the theme going throughout the book all of the chapter numbers are written backwards for example eerht would be the third chapter.
