Fergus And Zeke And The 100th Day of School is the fourth in an excellent advanced easy reader series. Messner had previously introduced readers to these two talented mice; this book will satisfy those who follow Fergus and Zeke. These charming and well-developed animal characters capture the interest and provide humor to readers. Although the text is written in nearly chapter book level the font is large and clear for advanced grade 1 – 3 readers.
Illustrations created by Ross are full of action. Rats and children express emotion as they progress through normal school activities including art and gym classes. The color pallet is simple and plenty of white space is used.
Add this book where easy readers are collected in libraries and classrooms. When thinking of gifts for this age group, Fergus and Zeke stories make excellent selections.
