The Giggler Treatment

Written by Roddy Doyle              
Illustrated by Brian Ajhar          

"Mr. Mack is a straight-shooting family man, with a job tasting cookies at the local cookie factory. Normally he’s a good man. A kind man. A man who would never do anything mean to his children. So why, one fine spring day, do we find him heading for . . . disaster? Has he done anything to deserve the Giggler Treatment? Will he get it whether he deserves it or not? Will his sons, Robbie and Jimy, be able to stop the treatment from happening?" -Arthur Levine Books

Ideas and Activities:

To introduce the story, if you are brave enough, have a pile of fake "poo" at the front of the room and pretend like you are about to step in it.
