Just Hilarious

Me Tarzan is a great story about a girl named Dorothy. Dorothy wants to be Tarzan in a school play. She knows she has the best Tarzan Yell in the whole school. After she does her Tarzan yell at tryouts everyone knows that she is defiantly going to be Tarzan in the play. A funny part is when Dorothy goes home and shows her mom her yell and all of her pets come towards her. This is when she learns her yell attracts all animals. An even funnier part is when she does her yell and all the animals at the circus stampede towards her. This book is just hilarious. This is one of the fiction books you should not miss. It is easy to read so a young reader can read it. The writing is extremely well done. There is no way you cannot love this book. It deserves all five out of five stars. William P

A Hilarious Book /By:CRF"grade 5"

Me Tarzan is a hilarious book about a young girl named Dorothy who won a part in her school play. On the first day of school a boy named Dwane said she looked like Barney. She wanted revenge. Dorothy knew he wanted to be Tarzan in the play. She won the part by standing up in the front of the classroom and yelling her famouse Tarzan yell. Everytime she did it she got louder and everytime she did it more and more animals would come to her. One time a panther appered in her backyard!I loved this book. Whenever I read it I felt like I was in the Jungle. I laghed out loud when I read this book. (Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Me Tarzan

I like Me Tarzan because the funniest part was when a girl yelled AHHH. My favorite part was when she yelled AHHH and all the animals that were in this circus in town came running to her. She wanted to be Tarzan because she thuoght that she had the best voice in her class. It could be better if she went to the circus before she did the play and in the circus someone was acting like Tarzan and when she got home she had the same voice as Tarzan. I read this book because when I first was the book I read the back of the book and I liked it. K.B.

The Call of the Jungle

When Dorothy tries out for the part of Tarzan in her school's play, she surprises everyone, even herself, with the power of her Tarzan yell, which fills her with an indescribable wild feeling. Each time she does her yell, it gets stronger and stronger. Eventually it starts affecting the animals in the area. And when the circus comes to town, all sorts of things happen! A hilarious story, perfect for 3rd or 4th grade. Would make an excellent read-aloud.
