Book Review: Judy Moody Saves the World
Rated by 1 member
What Parents Should Know
A hint of the complexity of "saving the world" from
environmental degradation is given here, but so are
child-accessible ways of doing something about it.
Common Sense Media Review
Judy may be moody, impulsive, and wired, but she never runs
out of ideas -- or enthusiasm. Megan McDonald's delightful
creation, produced in attractive volumes with brown-paper
covers, large print, and hilarious, cartoony illustrations by
Peter Reynolds, captivates middle graders who are making the
transition to chapter books.
This third entry in the series has all of the zip and wit fans expect from the series, but also presents important issues about the environment in an age-appropriate way. A funny, easy-to-read book that might get children thinking -- what could be better?
From the Book:
It was still dark out when Judy woke up early the next
morning. She found her flashlight and notebook. Then she
tiptoed downstairs to the kitchen and started to save the
world.
She hoped she could save the world before breakfast. Judy wondered if other people making the world a better place had to do it quietly, and in the dark, so their parents would not wake up.
