Frank runs the snack
bar at the ice skating rink where Melody, Liza and Howie like to hang
out. The children have suspicions that Frank is actually the Frankenstein
Monster. When Frank is not feeling well, Electra takes over for Frank at the snack bar. The
children believe Electra would be the perfect bride for Frank.
The features of this
book that categorize it as science fiction are the characters. The children
believe Frank is actually Frankenstein and his boss at the skating rink is
actually a scientist that created Frank. The book has a bit of romance in it
because the children try to set up Frank and Electra. They think Electra looks
like the bride of Frankenstein and the two would make a great couple. I thought
this was a very cute book and perfect to read with a class around this time to
get into the Halloween spirit.
Would this be a book that could be used during group reading?
ReplyDeleteI definitely think this book could be used during group reading! While I was reading it I thought it would be useful to read this book aloud but only as the narrator. The students could be picked to read parts for the characters in the book.
ReplyDeleteThat's good that this book could be used during group reading. I often see very dry books being read during group readings. With science fiction becoming so popular in pop culture, I think children would really enjoy group readings.
