The Homework Machine 14 reviews Dan Gutman
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 2006
teacher of grades 4-5
+ THE BEST BOOK EVER !!!! + Hal's review

It is written more like an interview conducted with each character as the school year progresses and problems arise with Belch. This book ...

Listen! 3 reviews Stephanie S. Tolan
HarperCollins, 2006
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.
+ Slow, thoughtful, and deeply moving + loved it
Nope. Don't like dogs. Okay, that's an exaggeration. I like `em fine. I just wouldn't label myself a "dog person". I'm not the kind of gal that goes all googley-eyed over the itty bitty puppy sitting across from me on the subway or who bursts into tears at the mere mention of Old Yeller's ...
