Judy Moody is my new favorite series. Judy Moody is a spunky third grader with an idea and dream for every occasion. When Judy’s class studies the environment, she is startled to learn about the destruction of the rain forest, the endangered species in her own backyard, and her family’s crummy recycling habits. Can she come up with a plan to save the world?
It starts with the Crazy Strips contest and a dream that she might see her very own band-aid design covering the knees of thousands children all over the world. When her “Heal the World” band-aid is awarded only honorable mention, Judy realizes that it is time to focus on something bigger. She drives her family insane by throwing out everything that comes from the rain forest, including her mother’s lipstick. When she decides to release her brother’s pet Toady, she may have gone too far. Can Judy whip the plant into shape?
