A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever by Marla Frazee


This book is a 2009 Caledcott Honor book. It's a picture book with super cool pictures and a cute and funny story to go with it. 

When James and Eamon go to a week of Nature Camp and stay at Eamon's grandparents' house, it turns out that their free time spent staying inside, eating waffles, and playing video games is way more interesting than nature. But sometimes things work out best when they don't go exactly as planned.


In the morning, Bill took the boys to Nature Camp. The road was long and curvy. James and Eamon learned a lot of new vocabulary words while Bill drove.

On the way back that afternoon, James and Eamon described their first Nature Camp day to Bill.

"I thought you are supposed to walk on a hike."
"Yeah, not stand and look at some flower for an hour."

Of course, you must see the pictures that go with the text. A very enjoyable book!
