4.5 stars. I saw these pop up and I was just curious. Who is Judy Moody? Is she always Moody? After reading this I can honestly say that Judy is a great girl, and I laughed aloud during many of the parts in this book.
Say hello to Judy Moody, say hello to her little brother (Stink) and her parents and her cat. They are a typical family. Judy doesn’t really like her brother, they prank each other, annoy each other, but you can see that she cares about him a lot, even if she would never confess to that.
In this book Judy is quite a bit moody, but if you hear the reasons you probably will agree with her on many of the whys. And that is also why I didn’t mind it so much when she was a bit moody, because I could just nod along and was agreeing with her. Those are pretty good reasons to be like that, especially when you are still a little kid.
While the book does follow a thread (the collage, the friendships, whatever happened in earlier chapters), the chapters were more like short parts out of the life of Judy. At times it was a bit jarring, because you were just getting into a day/story, and then it was over and it was the next, or however many next days after that.
I loved Judy’s interactions with her friends and classmates, and especially with one guy in particular. It shows the reader a wise lesson, don’t judge someone on something they did one time. :)
The parents were really terrific. They handled Judy’s moods with perfection.
There are also illustrations, and I loved that those were added as they gave the story extra life. I was reading the ebook, and they were quite tiny. But I hope that when I get the paperback the illustrations will be bigger.
Because yes, after reading this, and absolutely adoring Judy, I just had to get the books. So soon I will have 10 of the 12 books, and I can’t wait to start reading them. I hope they will all be as great as this one.
Would I recommend this one? Yes!

Judy Moody was my favorite book series as a kid and I'm so glad that I decided to revisit it. Judy is definitely moody and sassy, but she has good growth throughout the novel. She learns not to make judgements about people, how to adapt when things don't go as planned, and how to make the best of a bad situation all in this single book. I think this is a great book for young kids (especially girls due to Judy's aspirations of becoming a doctor and the fact that she has a female role model-- Elizabeth Blackwell).

Another book I'm getting for my niece and it was actually a great, quick read! I love the quirkiness of Judy Moody and I think Hailee will too! ❤️ Can't wait to talk with her about it and get more books in the series for her!

{My Thoughts} – Judy Moody is a little girl that is unhappy that summer is over. It’s the first day of school and she didn’t get to do anything special, like she assumed all of her friends probably had. At breakfast, however, she learns that she did do something worth talking about, she ate shark. She decides that this news of shark eating is so special that she just has to mark up her t-shirt to show that she had ate shark. I have to say that if it were my daughter I would have been surprised, however, at least she had something to talk about the first day of third grade.
Once class begins the teacher assigns homework. Judy is suppose to make a “Me Collage.” The object of the collage is to allow students to creatively tell others more about themselves, through pictures, objects, etc… She goes through a rough go of trying to make this collage for school. It appears that she was putting way more thought into it and what others would think about it, then just having fun with the assignment. Eventually she finishes it and has to present at at school. In between somethings happen that almost stop her from presenting it, but she decides to take a chance and does and it all turns out okay and in her favor.
I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book. They helped to bring more character to the story. I also like how the simple wording of the story continued throughout the entire book. I want to read more of this series in the future, as this was a rather enjoyable read.
