The Boy of the Three Year Nap was a very detailed book to read. The boy, Taro, was a lazy young man who liked to do nothing but sleep and eat. One day he came up with a plan, and he had the help of his widowed mother, unknown to her. She always complained to him that he was too lazy and that he needed to find a job and help fix the old home they lived in. Well Taro followed out his plan and somehow got the house fixed and the mother had a plan of her own for Taro as well.
The book was very well written and had great pictures to go along with the story. Personally I didn't really like the book though. It just wasn't something that interested me even though it was well written. It is a rather long book and I wouldn't recommend reading it aloud to younger students. It would be a good take home book for children to read with their parents, many children would enjoy this book.
Ian, I like that you were honest about your opinion of the book. I think this sounds like a silly book and is one that I want to read. I think you had good insight about not reading it to young children because it is too long.
