What exactly is NORMAL?

Just because school is slowly coming to an end, that doesn't mean that we will be ending the reading that we do daily.  Let me back up... does it seem like these last couple of weeks are going by so SLOW, or is it just that way in our house?  I don't know who has the end of the year itch worse, Broxton or the mama, because I know I am sure enough ready for summer break!   I have decided I am going to make a box of books and each day of summer break he has to read part of the book (or the whole thing, depending upon the size) before we can do other activities such as the ipad or television. It isn't meant to be school work, but more of an escape to a fun place. Reading is fun and we will make the most out of it.  One of the books that will be going in our box of books?
Normal Norman.

What is "normal?" That's the question an eager young scientist hopes to answer as she narrates her very first book. Unfortunately, her exceedingly"normal" subject—an orangutan named Norman—turns out to be exceptionally strange. He speaks English, sleeps in a bed, loves his stuffed toy, goes bananas over pizza, and even deep-sea dives! Oh, no: what's a "normal" scientist to do?

Brightly illustrated and brimming with silly scenes that will have young readers in hysterics, this loving look at the wackiness that makes us all special serves as a gentle reminder that "normal" can’t ever be defined.Norman and his scientist friend will encourage and inspire children to embrace their individuality and be their own “normal” selves.

A reason I like the book?  It shows you that "normal' is really just a word.  There are many versions of "normal" and you should never change who YOU are to fit in!!!!!  
Side note- any suggestions for a fun name for our "Box of Books?"  That doesn't sound fun to me and I want it to be fun.  Maybe a world of discovery or something?  No names like Frank or Joe.  I need a fun title / name for it!  

Do you have your children read over the summer break?
