This is the book my 5 yr old chose for me to read to him today. Oh. Goody. Another. Spongebob. Even this one was only mildly interesting for my son. Long enough to put it somewhere between a level 2 and 3 reading level, the pictures is what really kept my son interested. It seemed the author but very little effort into wrapping up the story with an understandable ending. I think the Spongebob books are dying out. I really, really, hope so. Please, God.
