Bad Dad

Task description:Today I did a book review on the Bad Dad.I wrote the author,illustrator and the book summary.I thought that this activity was really cool because the book was really interesting.The summary of the book is “All dads come in all shapes,sizes and ethnicities.There are BIG dads and SMALL dads,TALL dads and SHORT dads But there is good dads and BAD DADS.In this book there is a boy/frank and his father/gilbert.In the story gilbert is a race car driver but caused by a TERRIBLE accident he has lost a leg and now an amputee.Now jobless he is forced to do BAD stuff for his debt the bad stuff being the getaway car of a bank robbery.In the end he is found guilty and sent to jail resulting in a bad heart break for little frank so he broke his dad out of prison.Then he got  the money back and put it back inside the bank.The actual criminals get caught and gilbert was announced a free man.” I thought that this activity was really good and I had lots of fun and curiosity while reading the book  and I actually got really persuaded by the way the author wrote the book.
