When this book arrived, it came in a milk carton. Yep, a milk carton from Yawnee Valley. I thought that was really cool because the story is set in Yawnee Valley a place known for one thing and one thing only: cows. When I first started reading this book I didn't really like it, but as I kept reading I started really enjoying the story. The illustrations were fun, and so were the cows. There were pictures on almost every page. The story starts off when Miles (who was a prankster at his old school) moves to Yawnee Valley. On the first day at his new school, he finds out that the school already has a prankster. A very good prankster. (I won't tell you who the prankster is though, you will have to read the book to find out) So Miles has a prank war to see who is the best prankster. (This was my favorite part because I liked reading about all of the pranks they pulled) In the end, they join forces and plan a secret prank. A really big prank. They call themselves "The Terrible Two" but you will have to read the book to find out more. I really enjoyed it and I hope that Mac Barnett makes a second one!Over 9 years agoborntoswimis now following frankiebaby.

Before I begin I would like to thank DOGObooks for giving me an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this amazing book. Not only was the book provided, but it came in an ingenious "milk carton", which fits the plot of the book perfectly. Also included, was an amazing mug specially printed for the release of the book. As for the book??? Ever since third grade Man Barnett has been one of my all time favorite children's authors. From the fun "Brixton Brothers" series to his quirky picture books, all of them have exceeded my expectations. And "The Terrible Two" is no exception! Looking at the cover and summary it looks like a predictable plot with a predictable ending. However, it's far from it. The book follows prankster Miles Murphy, who was forced to move to Yawnee Valley, a suburb know for one thing, and one thing only; cows (hence the milk carton). At his old school Miles was famous for being the school's prankster, but at his new school, Yawnee Valley Science and Letters Academy, there already is a prankster. So starts an epic prank war, with Miles's eye set on out pranking the ultimate prankster. But when his plans twist the other way, and pranksters end up working together to plan the biggest prank Yawnee Valley (and the world) has ever seen. Will Miles Murphy be able to pull it off, or will it be his last prank EVER??? The books is filled but funny jokes and creative pranks, as well as hilarious cow tidbits scattered throughout. Also, the illustrations on every page, help the reader to understand the story better. If you are looking for a light but fun and interesting read, I recommend this book for you!!!Over 9 years agoborntoswim added a book review.
