The main idea of this story is that you should always try to find the best parts about everything and that you should be an individual. At the begging of the story, the boy’s parents didn’t know what to do with him because he would always be late to everything. It turns out, the boy was always late because the wonderful things he saw during his travels always distracted him. It appeared that the boy had to compliment everything he could see. This shows the reader that even though your destination may not be fabulous, you can certainly find something along the way. Near the end of the story the boy takes his parent out and shows them the world through his eyes. After seeing what their child sees, the parents praise him for be so different and loving everything. I read this and laughed most of the time. My wife read it and couldn't help laughing. This boy was a little unusual and yet the book is great for adjective use. I can picture reading this just before a talk about overused words. Fabulous isn't exactly the most common overused word, but for this kid it was. Roger is so excited to see everything the world has to offer, he's always running late. He describes everything as "fabulous." When his tardiness and overuse of the world "fabulous" get him in trouble, he figures out different ways to say and express just who he is. Great retro/graphic style illustrations make the world really seem as beautiful as Roger sees it. Great for character education or to illustrate the use of a good thesaurus. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
