Great Fun, Great Message

In this, the third book in the Judy Moody series, the spunky heroine gets inspired to try and single-handedly save the world from environmental damage. The author handles the delicate material with a sense of humor, showing Judy's initial over-enthusiasm that sometimes leaves her digging through garbage for overlooked recycle-goods or confiscating products from her friends and family that aren't environmentally friendly. In the end, with the help of her classmates and a lot of fun (and funny!) adventures along the way, Judy Moody finds a way to make a difference that everyone can agree on. The book is a lengthy, entertaining read for children with lots of great illustrations throughout. A great book--both funny and heart-warming.

Great reading for young girls

These are great books for the 8-10 year old girl. My daughter does not like to read and yet this series has captured her imagination and kept her engrossed for long periods. Well meaning topics and fun reading for kids.

Judy Moody Saves the World - Melanie Mantle 4th Grade Teacher

Judy Moody Saves the World In all the Judy Moody books Judy has a mood for everything. In this wonderful tale of Judy she is in the mood to create a "Crazy Stripe" (band-aid) so that millions of people over the world could wear her work of art. That dream soon fades when one day at school, Judy's teacher in class T3 starts teaching them about recycling and endangered species. Judy starts to think about recycling and saving the world. Judy gets so involved with saving the world by recycling that she gets her entire class motivated to help. Class T3 starts to collect bottles to recycle. The students in class T3 decided that they will use the money from recycling to help plant new trees in the rain forest. At the end of the book Judy Moody is rewarded for her efforts in helping to save the world in front of her entire school! This is a wonderfully written book with a great story line. As a teacher this would be a great book to help students understand the importance of recycling and helping save endangered species. Students will not only learn from reading this book, but will also get a laugh out of reading about Judy, her brother Stink, her friends Frank and Rocky, and class T3.

I love this book!

I love this book so much because it is funny, because her friends have to pick up a frog. Then her friends feel something warm -- guess what that was. There are no books better than Judy Moody. There are no books funnier than Judy Moody. And this is all that I can tell you about this book.

A Smart and Funny Book

My seven year old daughter loved this book, and I did, too. There was a lot of humor, and my daughter was laughing out loud to parts of it. One thing I appreciated was that the book doesn't talk down to kids, the way I think the "Junie B. Jones" books do (by using improper grammar and words like "bestest" to seem cute). Highly recommended!
