Don?t Tell Anymore Jokes

Don't Tell Anymore Jokes
Dogs Don't Tell Jokes By Louis Sachar
This story is about a boy named Gary W, Boone. He wants to be a famous comedian. He always daydreams about being on a late-night TV show. When he tells a joke to kids in his class they all give him funny looks and call him a dork and all other mean names. They also laugh at him because they think the joke is so dorky. When Gary hears them laugh he think that they are laughing at the joke but they really are laughing at him.
The most interesting thing about this book is when the school talent show comes up.
Gary of course wants to be in the talent show and do jokes. He says that that will get him in
to the comedian stage. He tries everything he can and he goes through alot of stuff. One of the thangs he goes through is him finding out that people don't like his jokes. When he has to practice his jokes. He tries to make the jokes up but sometimes he doesn;t know what the joke should be. When he says the jokes to him self and they do not sound funny. After a while he gets tired of trying to make up jokes so he disides to change his whole idea and goes to a normal kid. He tries to hang out with other kids and not do the jokes anymore. Then he diside that no one else would really pay attention to him and that he really liked telling jokes.So he goes back to teling jokes.
People I think would like this book is kids who like to read life books about people's life.Also if you like funny stories!So I think that 4th or 5th graders would like it.If older kids like books like that or like kinda in the middle sized of stories might like it to.
Between the rating sacale of 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. I would give it a 9. Not that it is bad book it is a great book!!!

The Title Is All Wrong---This Is A Great, Honest Story

This book has nothing to do with dogs not telling jokes. I think that may have been one of Gary's jokes, but really it has absolutely no relation to the story. (I'm Louis Sachar's biggest fan---he's such an awesome writer---but I wish he would work on picking out titles for his stories!)
Gary Boon is an outcast who can't stop telling jokes. The story isn't as simple as it might sound... As you read, you can find reasons for Gary being the way he is. He calls himself "Goon", with the "G" from Gary and the "oon" from Boon, and his best friend is Angeline from the book Someday Angeline (which is the best book ever writen, by the way). Gary enters in the school talent show to finally be appreciated for his "talent" of telling jokes.
Most of Gary's jokes are corny, but you'll still laugh at his efforts... And soon it's apparent that he'd just like to fit in. Like everyone else.
