Customer Reviews

A kids review!

I like chocolate, but we're talking about books. The Mayor of Central Park is a great book. I recommend this book for people who like talking animals. It's about rats taking over central park. Oscar the squirrel is trying to prevent that from happening. My favorite character is Big Daddy Duds. He likes diamonds. All the other characters are animals too. My favorite part is the big baseball game. The characters changed a lot. For example, Arty the pitcher, changed into a Hollywood star. The book is well written. The author is good at surprising you. I loved this book.
