I loved, loved the first Gooney Bird Greene book, but did not like the second. I thought Gooney Bird seemed a little obnoxious - as did my daughter. And I hated how a lot of it depended on kids looking up words in dictionaries, which they seemed to do rather adeptly for second(?) third(?) graders, even though my fifth grader isn't even that good at it. Really bothered me. But I'll give GBG another chance.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-82738341191383766502007-04-18T05:24:00.000-04:002007-04-18T05:24:00.000-04:00Great review!
