I adore this book.

2018 re-read: My eight-year-Old thought this book was hilarious! She was laughing so hard I had to stop reading a few times to let her calm down.

We all really enjoyed this light-hearted book. We read through it in just a few days.

Good read aloud. It felt like a much older book that it is. Story setup was cute and brought up some good discussion but as an adult it seemed like it was trying a little too hard to be educational. Boys liked it.

Brilliant book to teach kids about writing and story telling. Such fun stories all acting like a sly lesson on story structure.

I read this every year to my second grade students. They love it and it helps me teach several writing mini lessons as well as a few classroom behavior choices.

Wildly and proudly individual, Gooney is loved and encouraged to tell her fantastic tales to her classmates.
