I checked this book out at the school library 6 straight times in 2nd grade until the teacher put a stop to it. Checked it out again in 3rd grade because new teacher.

This book used to give me bragging rights over every kid in my neighborhood. Because of this book I could say that I read a chapter book at 5 years old :p but honestly it is a really cute, funny book. I read it to my siblings every now and then just so I can do the voices ;)
