The front cover of Super Turbo Saves the Day peaked my interest; a super hero rodent? Then when I realized it was a story about classroom pets at night when the students have gone home I knew I had to get it. I have a few pets in the classroom and I think my students would find it funny to think about they do at night. Turbo is a hamster in second grade. The story begins with it a no school day for the students and Turbo is all alone. He hears a sound that sends him exploring. He discovers Leo a green lizard and together they find Angelina a guinea pig and the adventure continues until they have quite a group of classroom pet superheroes. The class goldfish wants to escape and they come up with a clever plan. They hear an awful sound and soon realize there is an invasion of something, not a class pet. Super Turbo to the rescue!
I think this book is light hearted and easy for students to follow. I think they will find it funny and giggle. I think they will cheer for Super Turbo. I like the layout for the readers in my room; larger font, picture support, and some graphic novel structures. I'm interested in what's next for this gang of class pets.
