    About this ebook

    You don’t think much about your backpack.  It’s just kind of dirty and crammed with stuff.  But wait—did you know the backpack has a history?  That it could be a superhero’s secret weapon?  Or an exploding science experiment?  Or even a living creature of immense proportions? Kevin O’Malley has created four surprising comic-book-style stories to entertain and amaze backpack wearers everywhere.

    This is a fixed-format ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book.

      This graphic novel is appropriate for the grades pre-k through third. The book is humorous and has four short chapters. Also the pictures are bright, colorful and eye catching. The book begins with the history of the backpack and how cavemen and Egyptians tried to create a backpack but failed. I.C Clearly the narrator also jokes that 21st century children do not need backpacks because they have their moms carry everything. The following chapters are even more silly stories about a volcano backpack, super backpack girl and a backpack that is always hungry. Uses in classroom:- I would have students create their own backpack story.- I would have pre-k students design their own backpack.- I would show children how to read a table of contents.- As a class we can make a volcano.- A lot of onomatopoeia is used in the book so I would go over that with students. I could even have students listen to a number of different sounds and write an onomatopoeia.
