    About this ebook

    A new day of school, and a new backpack! Something hip and cool. A place for books, a place to clip a lunchbox, a perfect turquoise hue. The backpack that had it all...but is that what really counts? With Barry's rhyming structure and colorful art from illustrator Klaudia Bezak, The Backpack offers a lesson on caring, friendship, and understanding that it's what's inside that makes us all important.

      The theme of this book is that it is what is inside that counts. It’s a nice theme. But that is about it. The book tries and fails to rhyme. Many rhymes are missed, there is no cadence, and it just comes out sounding harsh. Plus there are story threads left open that are never woven in. Such as when dad shakes his head at the price. Then the story goes into a new kid and skateboarding? It’s like a second story attached itself to the first one. As for the illustrations. Not really my thing. Nothing about this book says “buy me”.
