General Butterfingers

As a grade three teacher I've come across TONS of children's books in my career. One of the best times in a teacher's day is reading to students. General Butterfingers has become my favorite! A woman is a cook and housekeeper for 3 sweet veterans. Her son interacts in such a special way with the gentlemen that the whole story is touching, especially when Walter and the men formulate and carry out a plan to keep the veterans from being taken to live in a Veterans Home.I given MANY copies of this book as a gift to the children of friends, relatives, and neighbors.

Excellent book. The book came bent at the edges.

My eight year old read this and loved it. He read another novel by this author in school and we purchased this one for out of school reading. The ending is really good and teaches kids not to give up.
