Stuart's Cape

Pennypacker, Sara. Stuart's Cape. Illus. Martin Matje. New York, NY: Scholastic Inc., 2002.

I can see where a 7-8 year old boy would absolutely love this book since it is written towards little boys who imagine adventures when they have nothing else to do at the time. I know this because speaking as a former 7-8 year old boy who would imagine adventures when I was bored or when it was rainy outside, I really loved Stuart’s Cape. I liked that the young Stuart got his whole family involved in his adventures, like having his Aunt Bubbles shoot him down out of the sky with the tires from her car. The illustrations that go along with the story are perfect , because they make his adventures come alive
