Delightful Goodness

Fabulous story ~ I enjoyed this story as much as The Spitting Image and I didn't believe that was possible! Kids love this tale as much as adults!

A very interesting book

This book is great!!! It includes a bully named Lumpkin,a boy named Leon, two of Leon's friends named P.W. and Lily-Matisse, a wacky science teacher named Mr.Sparks and many more characters. While at home Leon and his friends are doing an experiment and preparing for a contest, at school Leon and his classmates have the wackiest techer ever. He takes off his shirt during class, tells his students not to use textbooks and he lets his stiudents pick the topic that they would be studying that year which ended up being potato chips. Leon loves having Mr. Sparks as a teacher but parents start wanting to fire him. Leon and his classmates were going to have to prove to their parents for once and for all that Mr.Sparks is a great teacher. TO FIND OUT MORE READ THE BOOK BECAUSE IT IS A GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!

I liked this book

This book picks up where Leon and the Spitting Image leaves off. Leon is in fifth grade. He has two friends, P.W. and Lily Matisse. He collects potato chip bags. His science teacher, Mr. Sparks, asked Leon and his classmates what their hobbies were. Leon says, "potato chips"! Mr. Sparks says the class can spend the rest of the year learning about potato chips. And that is just what they do. On one occasion, Mr. Sparks takes the class on a field trip to a potato chip factory. It is funny because Lumpkin eats "president-shaped" potato chips. The book includes drawings of all 42 presidents as potato chips. I liked this book because it was very funny. (...)
