My dad isn't a superhero, but he can pull me out of anything, even from long, tangled boa constrictors that were squeezing the last wheeze out of me. Alvin got really, truly scared as his sister left him trapped in the box and forgot about him. I liked how Lenore Look was able to turn funny situations into more poignant ones.
How great would it be for a second-grader to get a Houdini-in-a-box kit?! Funny situations turn into funnier situations, as the kids make a straight jacket and then Alvin volunteers to be trapped inside his sister's time machine. "Alvin Ho GOLD MEMBER OF HOUDINI-IN-A-BOX do it yourself escapes" Inside, there were pencils, stickers, handcuffs, and handcuff key, a rope, a Houdini's Greatest Escapes DVD and a gold card. I ripped open the kit right there in the driveway. In the second chapter, Alvin receives a package at the front door. While it didn't tickle me as much as the first in the series, it was a fun read. Alvin one funny little guy.Īlvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking, and Other Natural DisastersĪges 6 - 9Alvin is still getting into mischief and wriggling his way out of sticky situations in the second book in this series: Alvin Ho: Allergic to Camping, Hiking and Other Natural Disasters. The funniest episode of all, in my mind, was the chicken-pox episode.
Another time, Alvin decides to bring his dad's beloved childhood Johnny Astro toy for show-and-tell, and suffers the consequences when it's broken. One day, Alvin is trying to grow taller and is left stranded by his siblings during stretching exercises that leave him upside down in a tree where he remains forgotten until his mother spots his empty seat at dinner. This first book in the series is full of everyday adventures in short, illustrated chapters. But at home he’s a very loud superhero named Firecracker Man. He’s so afraid of school that, while he’s there, he never, ever, says a word.
192 pages.Īges 6 - 9Alvin Ho is an Asian-American second grader who is afraid of everything- elevators, tunnels, girls, and, most of all, school. These are perfect read-alouds for 1st graders, and great for 3rd graders on their own.Īlvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things I love a book that will make you laugh out loud, and then will make you and your child laugh out loud again a week later when you remember reading it together.
