Funny kid's boo

I teach second grade and used this book as a read-aloud for my class. The students loved this funny book and I will definitely be reading it again next year.

This book is very intresting

Casey sits by Marvin at school. And Casey said if you are a boy and kiss your elbow you will turn into a girl and the same with the girl. Then Marvin had a bad dream and woke up and SCREAMING and his mother, oh I mean "her" mother thought it was Marvin's little sister Linzy but it was Marvin. I am not going to tell you what happened at the end of the book. I really like this book because the ending is so good. You should read it! By Darbi

Marvin Redpost: Is he a Girl?

I've read the book twice. Great book. Casey tells Marvin that if you kiss your elbow, you will turn into a girl. At first, Marvin doesn't believe her, but when Marvin kisses his elbow, he thinks he really is turning into a girl! Very hilarious! If you like books where the character thinks that they are something else than what they really are, then you'll love this!

marvin redpost is he a girl. Is one of the best books ever.

were do I start. Marvin is a great book. When I was reading it I felt like I was watching a great film.My favorite charector is General Jackson.It realy made me think about how other kids feel when they get teased.It is a short chapter book but when your reading it, it makes it seem a long time Louise sachar does not leave any details out.
