Description
It is the first day of school. The first day of third grade. Between Mrs. Mousetrap's miserable spelling tests and the arm-twisting antics of smelly, candy-sucking Richard Newton, it's already looking ugly.
Then comes recess--and Ramon: The World Yo-yo Champion appears with his awesome King Tut Royal Egyptian Yo-yo. Even Richard Newton is in awe.
With bobbing, humming, sparkling speed, Daniel Pinkwater and Jack E. Davis draw us into a dizzyingly satisfying tale of yo-yo success.
Praise for Yo-Yo Man…
“A satisfying story...As a read-aloud or a read-alone, this story will resonate with children.”
-School Library Journal
“[A] triumphant playground memoir...this will be a crowd pleaser.”
