6 Reasons Why You Should Read THE TERRIBLE TWO 1) Ever pulled a great prank? The characters in this book may just have you beat. For example, in the first few pages someone pulls the ULTIMATE prank on the school principal. This book will make you want to become a member of the super secret pranking society known as the International Order of Disorder. 2) The book has really short chapters that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Be careful you don't stay up TOO late devouring chapter after chapter under the covers with your flashlight. (I'm a teacher. I had to say it.) 3) You'll meet two hilarious characters who will have you laughing out loud constantly. Miles and Niles will become so real to you that by the end you'll swear they're good friends of yours in real life. 4) Do you know what it feels like to be the new kid in town? Pretty tough, right? Well, you'll be able to understand exactly how Miles feels. He's forced to leave all his friends behind and move with his mom to a boring little cow town called Yawnee Valley. 5) Speaking of cows, you'll learn all sorts of funny, weird facts about these lovable bovine creatures. For example, "Cows have 360-degree panoramic vision. Want to sneak up on a cow? You can't. They see you." Crazy! 6) In this book, the drawings, hand written letters, photos, and cartoons are just as cool as the writing itself. If you're a fan of the Wimpy Kid Series or James Patterson's Middle School books, then you'll love The Terrible Two by Mac Barnett and Jory John. Bonus: This book is brand new. Grab a copy ASAP to be one of the first kids to read it in 2015!

Once you've selected your prize book, you need to print the consent form, fill it out with your address, and mail to to DOGObooks (or scan & email it to them). I just finished all those steps yesterday and am now waiting eagerly for my first prize book (Apothecary). Which one will you choose?

Ah, that's right! I forgot that there was a second step involved when I signed myself up for the summer program. I'll help the kids join the program tomorrow. Thanks for clarifying.

Quick question. Last week I created accounts for all my kids and helped my partner teacher do the same. All in all, we have nearly 60 people at our school using your site. I see the top school on the list right now has 16 participants. Will we be added to the list of top summer reading schools?

I introduced your summer program to my 4th graders today. They are absolutely thrilled! They got to make their own avatars today and are excited to finish up their books so they can write reviews later this week. Thank you so much for providing my kids with a forum to discuss and share their summer reading. You guys rock!

Excellent! Thanks so much! :)

We don't get out until the very end of June. I'm really excited about your program, but I'm worried you'll have run out of books by the time my kids read and review 3 books. Suggestions? Thanks! -Mrs. H, 4th grade teacher
