Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 2009 | Grade Level: K and up

Jeremy Bean has a problem. Several, in fact. But a kid like Jeremy Bean can come up with some pretty unusual solutions, such as putting a bug in his pocket, wearing a lamp shade on his head, hiding in the school janitor's closet, and collecting everyone's shoes. If you're looking for adventure with a laugh along the way, meet Jeremy Bean!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 1–3—Three short stories introduce Jeremy Bean. He is frustrated because he can't come up with a collection that no other kid has until his grandfather gives him inspiration, he tries to capture the elusive "dust bunnies" and ends up getting a real pet, and forgets to wear green on St. Patrick's Day. Jeremy tries to do his best but sometimes his best gets him into silly and not-so-silly situations, like being locked in the janitor's closet. Youngsters will empathize with the everyday occurrences in these funny, totally childlike tales. Slonim's black-and-white cartoon illustrations capture the flavor of the stories and feature a boy with wide eyes and freckles. A fine choice for beginning-chapter-book collections.—Carrie Rogers-Whitehead, Kearns Library, UT
