What Parents Should Know
Judy can open up a whole world of childhood feelings, from
moods to friendships, for thinking and discussion. Her
creative, never-quit attitude is a good example for
children.
Common Sense Media Review
She's Ramona, with attitude. She's impulsive, moody (of
course!), often crabby, and completely charming. She calls her
little brother "Stink," keeps her family fizzing, and always
has an idea. Megan McDonald's aptly named, feisty, creative
little heroine has middle-graders chortling even as they
recognize themselves and their friends. Packed with lots of
witty cartoon illustrations by Peter Reynolds, McDonald's
wickedly funny take on life in third-grade is right on the
money. Rare!
From the Book:
Judy Moody ran back to her room and peeled off her
shirt. She took out a fat marker and drew a big-mouthed shark
with lots of teeth. I ATE A SHARK, she wrote in all
capitals.
