THE BEST BOOK IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

There is no way to express my feelings about this book. It really changed my attitude about reading. I liked reading a lot; however it made me like reading even more. I can really understand why this book is an award winning book. My favorite characters are Sally and Liz. I like how they are always covering for each other or right by each others side. There is nothing I would change about this book and I give all my thanks to the author, Thank You Bill.

Ferret in the bedroom, Lizards in the fridge

In the story Ferret in the bedroom , Lizards in the fridge was Elizabeth was running for class president. Her dad is a zoologist and he keeps stray animals, which effects her election for class, president. Elizabeth is the main character of this story. She is a white girl with freckles. Elizabeth is nice, loves animals, and is very competitive. The problem for elizabeth is that her dad is a zoologist. The reason why this ia a problem for her, is she is trying to run her campaign from her home. When her guest are over the animals always get out. Elizabeth solves the problem by asking her dad to keep the animals locked up while her friends are over. So that is how she solves the problem. My opinion of this is that his is a very good book. It teaches us that we must communicate with each other. I would also recommend this book to other people because it talks about how some people don't care about animals.

Wonderful Book

This book was about a girl and her pets and she was trying to win to become class president. So she had to decide if she wanted to give up her friends or give up her pets. So she gave up her pets and then she was upset because she was lonely with out them. And this story takes place at her school and home. The main characters were Liz but everyone called her lizard Miss Wimberl, Sally, Mrs Jones Mr.Mcdonald, Shane, Lizs Mother, Farther, Jo Donna Hunt and lizs animals Fred and Bessie. I would recommend this book for kids my age and older because it was a terrfic book to read.

A great lesson in friendship and personal discovery

Liz learns a lesson that few adults have managed: what really is important in life and who are your friends. The animal information is up to date and mostly true (the indication that the Fred the ferret is a wild animal is one of the rare goofs), the story moves along quickly, and the characters and circumstances are believable (hey, I live with over 10 ferrets so I know what it's like, and Wallace hit the nail on the head). A great read.

GREAT

ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS! Liz (Lizard) has a house full of animals because her dad is a zoologist. When she tries out for class president, no one will help her because they can't go to her house to help her out. Liz makes her dad get rid of the animals and Liz then relizes what it was to have her animal friends gone, even Fred the ferret.
