Shoebag
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Out of the seventy-five books, I've read this year, counting last year altogether. My most favorite book is Shoebag. The author is Mary James. There was a boy who became a cockroach and was adopted by the Biddles. Pretty Soft is a Tiolet Paper commerical girl. I will rate this book 5 stars because it is funny. The characters have funny names too! And they're also funny.

I read all night. I couldn't put it down. My favorite character is Shoebag, of course! I think Pretty Soft and G.De La.G resemble me the most.

I teach reading to seventh graders. This book is a big hit with my reluctant readers! I get a little upset when the elementary teachers read it to their classes because that action leaves me without a great book to teach. Although easy to read, there's some "meaty" stuff in here that leads to great class discussions and a memorable reading experience for my students.
This book was the most fabulous book, I ever read!!

I have read Shoebag so many times since the day I won a 2nd grade spelling bee,and recieved it as a prize. Now I am 14, and whenever I need a good laugh or memory, the book is there for me to whip out. I would reccomend this book for very sensitive kids because they will be pleased with the ending. 5 stars! Definately 5 stars!!!
I love pretty-soft!
