This book was recommended to be read to the third grade classroom I am in. I think it would be more appropriate for first or second grade. The book is about a boy named Rex who hates rules, so his family decides to have no rules for one weekend. Rex finds out that having no rules isn't as fun as he thought it would be. It teaches kids that rules are very important, and without rules life would be very chaotic!

This is good to read at the beginning of the school year. I always read it before we decide on our own rules and norms as a class.
