I really enjoyed this book. I liked how the vocabulary used painted a picture in your head about what was going on. For example, the words used such as "yak, yak, yak", "wahoooooo", "squirt, squirt, squirt", "squirt, dig, splot" all paint a picture of what the action is in the story. Since there are not many pictures in this book, I feel these vivid words are important to really use your imagination. This book would be entertaining for children because of the language used.

Cassie,
I like how you described the book. It was very creative to use the actual terminology from the book. Nice job!
This book is my absolute favorite! I truly enjoyed reading it because it reminded me of the "simpler" days in which one's biggest worries were about other kids wanting to be friends. I also liked how the pictures really captured the story.
I didn't think about how descriptive the books words were until you mentioned it. But I definitely agree, I made it an easy fun read!!
