Summary: It goes through the daily life trying to be a 3rd grader.

Strengths: There are cute illustrations scattered throughout the pages. I like how it is still primarily a chapter book even with pictures that give the reader a break from just reading pages of just text. The text is big and visible and the titles summarize the chapters in a sentence.

Concerns: I did not like the book itself. It was not eventful and not much happened.

Age level: Elementary(3-5)

Classroom Use: It encourages free reading and children can relate their experiences to the ones exemplified in the book.
