Why doesn’t he ever get sick on regular school days when he doesn’t want to go to school? That is not fair! This book uses humor to explore the connection between emotions and the body. A good book to read as a group and discuss. Franz is going to summer camp for the first time. But as the
day of the trip approaches, he likes the idea less and less. He has never been away from his parents and he's starting to get nervous. Yet he has no idea howmuch fun he will have and all the new adventures he will experience there! Young readers will relate to Franz’s fear of the unknown and the joy he feels when he finally embraces adventure.
