I think this book would appeal mostly to boys who appreciate an occasional fart joke. On the borderline between first chapter books and older kid books. --Rachel V. J/Trueit(less)

Stuart is going to 3rd grade and his mom has picked out the perfect outfit for his first day... bright green plaid pants and a shirt with little cowboys all over it that his own father used to wear! Stuart understandably is reluctant to wear this but doesn't have a choice. Fortunately he can top it with his magical cape made of neckties which cause a new adventure to happen each day. Funny and likable every kid that would especially appeal to boys who aren't yet ready for Diary of a Wimpy Kid. --Rachel V. J/Pennypacker(less)
