APPEALS TO: MANY

Eli loved to pretend that he was a great explorer.  He spent all his extra time climbing mountains, trekking through the jungle or searching for buried treasure.  His most favorite was exploring the pyramids in hopes of finding a real, live dead mummy.  One day, he fell out of his treehouse.  His parents rushed him to the hospital.  While he was there he saw something wonderful that he did not imagine!  Will his parents believe him?

Fisher mixes fiction and true events together to create an adventurous and funny tale.  Well done and realistic illustrations delightfully bring the story to life.
