Book Reviews of Calvin Coconut: The Zippy Fix
Book Review: Another outstanding book by Graham Salisbury
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an elementary teacher and just read Calvin Coconut: The Zippy Fix. I LOVED it!! It's perfect for children between the ages of 8 and 12 who will easily make connections to this book and its characters. Calvin's experiences teach children about having good character; responsibility, perseverance, caring, respect, integrity, and self-discipline. Being that its setting is Hawaii, children from all over can get a taste of the culture through authentic situations. Graham Salisbury has captured the heart and mind of Calvin and draws the reader into Calvin's world. This book would also be engaging for younger children as a fun read-aloud. Lots of great conversations will flow while reading the book. Calvin Coconut books will get children hooked on reading and have them asking for more!
Graham Salisbury's books are all outstanding and draw children into the world of books and a love of reading!
Summary of Calvin Coconut: The Zippy Fix
Calvin Coconut needs to fix things with Stella?and fast!Stella from Texas is now officially a member of the Coconut household. As if getting a bossy babysitter isn?t bad enough for Calvin, Stella teases him mercilessly. What?s a nine-year-old boy to do? Calvin decides to ?fix? her, and he dumps his neighbor?s cat Zippy on Stella?s bed, knowing she?s allergic. But when Stella breaks out in hives and misses her first big date, Calvin realizes his ?zippy fix? went too far. He?s got to make it up to her, and decides to give her a birthday present. But he has no money. Along with the help of his loyal friends and little sister, Darci, Calvin works hard, and comes up with enough cash to give Stella the best birthday gift ever.
Graham Salisbury?s voice perfectly captures the inner workings of Calvin?s mind, and Jacqueline Rogers? delightful pictures add zest and humor to The Zippy Fix.
