Inside the Suitcase

Inside the Suitcase is the story of a boy going on an adventure. The boy has a suitcase that he is packing before he leaves for somewhere. The things that he brings along will help him on his trip. He brings things to wear and something to eat. He finds more along the way that he uses when he comes to monsters and dark places. The boy goes on land and in the ocean––he ends up finding houses in both areas!

Inside the Suitcase is like another book by this author called The House of Madame M. I read both of these books with my younger brother, and we both loved flipping the flaps on each page. The flaps in Suitcase are bigger and wider than those in Madame M; lots of times, they went from big to little as you found out the secret something underneath all the flaps. The pictures sometimes had funny things drawn on them. A couple had a fish in the air!

This story was fun to read. The first time, we didn’t understand the ending well, but then after reading it a few times, we understood it and enjoyed the whole book.
