And Then It Happened!

The And Then It Happened series written by Michael and Laura Wade of Strathroy, Ontario is coming to a library near you! We have ordered this series and are waiting on it to be catalogued so you can begin to sign these books out. Each chapter in this book outlines the hilarious daily adventures and troubles of three boys at school, at home and during their free time. The climax of the story always begins with the phrase "And then it happened..." and chaos begins to break loose! I would recommend this book to anyone in grade three and older and what I love about this series is that each chapter is a short and easy read and a story in itself. I never know who laughs harder at these stories when I read them aloud: myself or my students!
