Get into the Judy Moody mood - bad moods, good moodes, even back-to-school moods. Judy has them all. Meet Judy, her little 'bother' Stink, her best friend Rocky and her 'pest' friend paste-eating, dull-as-dirk Frank Pearl. Judy's adventures begin on the first day of third grade when her new teacher asks the students to create a "ME" collage. Then she can't wait to write about her new pet (a Venus flytrap that eats bugs and hamburgers), the TP (Toad Pee) CLub initiation and how she ate a shark over the summer. This amusing story about a lovable, whimsical, accident-prone girl has an unusual and innovative peephole cover and clever pen-and-ink illustrations by Peter Reynolds. For 7-year-olds and older.
