About This Book
An Anaconda Ate My Homework is a wildly imaginative and humorous chapter book perfect for young readers aged 4-11. It follows Digby, a boy who is dreading his ten pages of homework, as he is unexpectedly whisked away to a perilous jungle by a raptor. What follows is a series of escalating, absurd dangers, from an anaconda to a tiger, all of which Digby cleverly navigates using only the contents of his school backpack. This book is a fantastic read-aloud for younger children and an engaging independent read for early elementary students, modeling creative problem-solving and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. It's a pure entertainment adventure with a lighthearted tone despite the constant peril.
On his way home from school, unhappy about the ten pages of homework due the following day, Digby is carried off to the jungle by a raptor and must escape from an extraordinary series of dangers using items from his backpack.
