I like Peter Reynolds' illustrations, especially the Table of Contents and the delightful illustration of Judy Moody in a bad mood descending the stairs on her first day of school, which made me chuckle. This book made me laugh when she ate a shark. Did you laugh too?
My favourite part of the book is where Judy sings to her Venus Flytrap. In case you don't know what a Venus Flytrap is, it is not an animal, it is a plant which eats flies. Yes, I know. I also liked the doctor doll Judy received. It sounded adorable and I chortled with laughter. I found this book easy to get into.
This is the sort of book you might like if you like pets. Judy goes to the pet store quite a bit.
Judy gets invited to the birthday party of a boy she detests, Frank Pearl who eats paste (not a recommended activity, children - paste-eating, that is.) She puts off going but somehow she gets there. The paste-eater's party sounds hilarious and made me laugh and laugh. Frank Pearl shows a side of himself Judy hadn't expected. Very interesting.
The book goes on being funny and very original.
If Share and Tell is your favourite thing, you'll get a kick out of this book. I love this part. It even made me want to do Share and Tell and I'm an adult. This book is a winner.
