Book is incomplete

I love this story but the book I received is incomplete. The pages start off normally but after the middle of the story, it literally starts over again! The pages are from the beginning of the book until the middle twice. The ending is left out.

Highly recommend this book

This book is very cute. My daughter wants me to read this to her every night. I think I have it memorized. Great author and nice illustrations.

A family favorite

I can't believe any reviewer would criticize the illustrations in this book! As in every Rathman book, the quirky and humorous pictures are half the fun. We love all of Rathman's books, but this is my favorite one to read to my children. In fact, it's one of my favorite books in our entire collection. Highly recommended.

A Great Family Book!

Even now in Middle School, I get this book out and read it! I bought it when I was in the 2nd grade and I still have the copy.. as a matter of fact I was reading it not too long ago,and I suggest you read it as a family. It has a good storyline :-)

endearing and funny

Wow, I think Hornbook is a great publication, but their reviewer was way off on this one: "Ruby the Copycat" is a funny, endearing book and the illustrations add immeasurably to its quirky charm! Some reviewers seem to think that kids need the complexity of Dickens in their story plots, but what seems "forced" and "pat" to one reader seems neat and effective to this one. Highest recommendation for this story (and be sure to check out Rathmann's other great titles, "Officer Buckle and Gloria" and "Ten Minutes to Bedtime").

I love this author

In response to the Kirkus review, I don't understand why it's "a shame" that a teacher has to point out the effects of Ruby's behavior to her. In case the Kirkus reviewer has forgotten, children do need to be taught values and DON'T always understand how their actions impact others. Any parent can tell you that. Ruby's need for adult guidance seems realistic to me.
