book review

There is a kid named Cody Michaels and he got home from school and he checked the mail. He found a letter to him and it was a valitine and he told his best friend Chip to help him find out who his secret admirer is. So he thought his new name should be Double-o-Cupid. Instead of going to recess he went and searched everybody's desk to see who had a purple pen or to see who dotted their eyes with a heart. But then when he searched the last desk, which was P.J.'s, and to see it so he slipped it into P.J.'s desk. So then later on that day she pulled the Valentine out on accident and read it and said, "Eww," in front of the whole class and she passed the card around to everybody. Then she gave it back to Cody. Then he found out that his mom was having a friend come down from India, who's name is Sunda, and he is a special visitor to Cody's class. My opinion of this book was boring.

A Read Aloud Winner

I have shared this book with third and fourth graders and both groups have loved it. Boys were laughing and obviously fully in touch with Cody. Parents in the book come across as caring and loving...always a plus these days. The top ten lists are winners.
