Mr. Magro is a teacher who has devised a way for his students to practice their writing skills by submitting a story about an emergency they have had. In return for their submission to the "SOS" file, they will receive extra credit. The twelve stories that follow are both humorous and heartwarming. Mr. Magro's statement that all but one of the stories will receive extra credit keeps the reader motivated to read each and every story. This book is aimed at grades 3-5, and younger readers would enjoy having these stories read out loud to them
I love the SOS file idea, and plan to incorporate the assignment into my classroom. I plan to teacher middle schoolers, and I think their emergencies might be very entertaining. Maybe we'll publish a book of them and the book will end up on the assignment list for this class!
