I have never read Judy Moody books before. I can really see young girls liking this series. It was very easy to read and very child friendly. The dynamic between Judy and the other characters is similar to real life relationships. There is usually a younger sibling that is not your favorite person

all the time but you would still help them when they need it. The illustrations are inserted in the story to help give an image to the descriptions in the words and to replace words when showing notes that Judy writes.

could be sick to stay home from school. Judy ends up getting sick and Stink, her brother, wants her to feel better so he brings her friends over from school. This is a good novel for children to read for A.R.P. points and just to in in the classroom library for a good read.

I got a real kick out of miss Judy Moody. She is so extravagant and fun. This is a great early chapter book that has Judy Moody on the adventure to being a doctor. She helps her sick brother, does surgery on a zuccini and gets sick herself after a joke about cloning from her friends. This book is

I thought that this was a great book that would be really good at catching, and keeping, the interest of the children reading it. The main character was very realistic and the interactions between her and her brother or classmates were all something that I think children could relate to for. For

example, she often was telling her brother to get out of her room or to not touch her stuff and this is something that happened often between real siblings. The writing was also very funny and often made me laugh out loud while reading. Judy told many jokes but on top of the jokes that she told some of the things she said or the way she interacted with other characters was very funny. The mispronounced words during the story were also very believable such as saying the hippopotamus oath instead of the Hippocratic oath. This made the story even more believable but even more funny also. I really like the humor that was put into the plot and also the realistic and relatable nature of the characters in the text. Through learning about the human body at school, Judy Moody found out that sometimes when you are sick all you need is a visit from your friends to make you feel better which is a great lesson for children to learn at any age.

Moody Judy books are fun, adventurous, humorous books in general, and this one was no different! This is an ideal series for 2nd-5th graders to enjoy and ramp up their reading comprehension! These books have simple, but fun story lines, with an exciting, silly main character. I can see young girls

gravitating towards these books more so than young boys, simply because they feature a female main character. Young girls can relate to Judy, and the situations she gets into. It's fun to read how she acts much like the young girls reading about her.

This time around Judy is ecstatic because 3T is now studying the human body and we all know her dream of becoming a doctor plays into that rather nicely. Thing is...Judy is about to learn there are boundaries in both medicine and real life that shouldn't be breached when she decides to go all out

with her class presentation of something that wasn't hers to share, tell, or show. She's got a good heart, but sometimes her ambition gets in her way...good thing it looks like she's getting those missteps out while she's young.
