A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever is a children’s picture book written and illustrated by Marla Frazee and set in Malibu, California.

When they first arrive at the house, Eamon's grandfather Bill asks the two boys if they want to go to the penguin exhibition, happening at the museum.

The grandparents gave them the nickname “Jamon.” Each day Bill asks Jamon to keep thinking about going to the penguin exhibition, but the boys decline the offer.

The two boys stayed at the editor's parents' house in Malibu for a week while attending a nature day camp.

After the boys returned, the editor suggested writing a thank-you note to the grandparents in the form of a book.

The editor, having seen the thank-you note, encouraged her to turn it into a full picture book for publication, which she was finally inspired to do when her oldest son happened to read it.
