Reading With John : Judy Moody Gets Famous!

We've had a bit of a crazy week this week with me having to work long strange hours, horrible weather, and then John coming down with a nasty little stomach bug. I have tonight off from work and he's feeling a little bit better so it's time for another edition of:

Today John did his mini-review of Judy Moody Gets Famous!

We first got to know Judy because of her little brother, Stink. Last year John read several of the Stink books and decided that this year he would move on to Judy since she's in the third grade like he is. I tease him about how if Judy Moody were real she'd probably be his girlfriend. (One of several, I have to admit!)
