Ready, Freddy! #4: Don't Sit on My Lunch : Don't Sit on My Lunch (Ready, Freddy!)

Rating:
Summary: Another awesome Freddy book!
Review: As a second grade teacher, it is so refreshing to find a new series that motivates my students to read and love doing it. Such was the case when my students discovered the Ready Freddy series last fall. I've heard it described as a male version of Junie B. Jones. While this is somewhat accurate (he is a mischeivious boy), I see a lot more heart in Freddy than I do in Junie. For the most part, he does try hard to do the right thing.

The humor in the Freddy books is great as well. Whether he is dealing with his friends Robbie and Jessie, his Neat Freak mom, his bossy older sister, or Max the class bully, Freddy offers his unique perspective on his life that my students get a big kick out of.

I have found that both the boys and the girls in my class scrambled to read this latest book. Judging by their reactions, it's just as entertaining as the first three in the Freddy series. I may have to buy more copies of it to keep them from arguing over the one copy I have now! =)
