Realistic Fiction

This book is about two boys named Frankie and Sal who has done it all. They've played every board game and read every comic book They also have painted several pictures, played every sport, and baked cookies. They decide to do nothing. They sit in chairs and imagine things they see and are doing. They pretend they are the King of the Nothing Doers. They realize that there is no way you can do nothing because eyes and ears are always doing something.

I would use this in my teaching by showing students that you can always find something to do. Everyone has a big imagination and can pretend and be anything they want. This book also shows that two boys are getting along and are best friends. This will teach students ways to get along with their classmates.
