Judy Moody: Totally Rare!!
Judy Moody: My Review
I picked this book up during one of my random strolls through the library shelves, drawn to the simple brown paper wrapper and delightful line drawings. As a bit of a moody person myself, I was intrigued by the entire title of the first book - Judy Moody was in a mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood.
The story of this first book covers the first month of Judy's third-grade year, one she isn't looking forward to thanks to an unadventurous summer. But thanks to a project - the Me Collage - assigned by her new teacher, the month delivers a series of new experiences as Judy gets a new pet and makes a new friend.
This would be a great read-aloud book for bedtime as each chapter covers a different topic for the Me Collage, making them perfect mini-stories that mostly resolve by the end. But it is also just right for the beginning chapter-book reader who likely happens to be the same age as Judy or her brother Stink.

When Judy Moody meets Amy Namey, she bridles at the girl's similarities to her own proudly unique persona. They soon become great friends, however, but in her enthusiasm for Amy, Judy slights her old pals Rocky and Frank. In one amusing scene, Judy's little brother acts as a conversational go-between, relaying comments between his sister and Rocky, who's not (technically) speaking to Judy.

Judy Moody is making a list and checking it twice, but all her brother, Stink, wants this year is snow. It hasn't snowed on Christmas in Virginia in more than a hundred years, however, so what are the chances that that will change? Enter the new mailman, Mr. Jack Frost, who not only looks like a jolly old elf but also seems to know a lot about weather patterns, has a fondness for the cold, and works looooooong hours during the holiday season. Plus it's the best time of the year, when strange packages and lots of surprises are swirling around, so isn't it possible that Stink might get his wish?

About Peter Reynolds
He drew the pretty pictures
Peter H. Reynolds is the author-illustrator of a number of other books, including The Dot and Ish, two enchanting picture books that celebrate the creative process. "I often visit classrooms and ask who loves to draw. In kindergarten and first grade, all the hands go up. In second grade, most of the hands go up. In third grade, half the hands are up. By fourth and fifth grade, most of the hands are down, or perhaps pointing to 'the class artist.' It's sad to see the artistic, creative energy slowing down, being packed away. I am convinced it's because children learn early that there are 'rules' to follow. But when it comes to expressing yourself, you can invent your own rules. You can change them, you can stretch them, or you can ignore them all and dive headfirst into the unknown."Official Website with more information on Peter Reynolds, his art and books.
