I loved this book! Although the story line is pretty unrealistic it still reminded me of days in elementary school when we would play dodgeball. I always hated that game! The "dodgeball bully" in this book exists in all games of dodgeball -- the one kid who is really good and stays in the entire game. The author really made me think back to days when I was in elementary school. I remember hating rainy days when we couldn't go outside for recess! The pictures in this book were interesting; my favorite was the one of Freckleface Strawberry pretending to be an alien monster. It showed Strawberry in the front with her legs bent and her arms raised in the air, and the monster was behind her in a similar position. The inclusion of an actual monster in a similar position helped me picture what Strawberry was trying to act like. I liked that this book was about a different aspect of school. It focused on Early Bird, the program for children whose parents work early in the morning. I was never one who had to go to school early but those who do would enjoy relating to this book! I am not sure how much educational value this book had but I definitely enjoyed reading it just for fun! It's probably not one I would have in my classroom, though.
