Had been wanting to sample this series, so when I found this book in a local LFL, I picked it up to read. An enjoyable read, definitely geared for a younger audience, but fun anyway.

My students thought this book was hysterical. They laughed often and continue to take it off my shelf to read. I was a big fan as well 😊

Growing up, I loved reading Judy Moody books. And rereading them as an adult makes me more aware of why I love them so much.
Simple, yet humorous, this book is filled with silly stories about new pets, obnoxious brothers, and friendship.
What I really like about Judy's character is how strong-willed she. I all so like how McDonald writes about Judy's moods. Her bad moods aren't seen as a negative, but rather as a part of life. She shows that bad moods are normal. I remember really identifying with Judy when I was young and the idea that it's okay to be mad, but something good or funny is bound to happen soon.
It's not all princesses and sunshine like a lot of children's books specifically targeted to girls, which I really enjoyed as well. I like that Judy has male friends and it's not a big deal. She likes weird things like collecting doll parts and scabs.
Judy is a very empowering character, because she isn't afraid to be herself, and that is something everyone can learn from.

Cute, but typical. The writing was direct and entertaining. They focus on making the brother miserable, while realistic, made me sad.
