About The Book:Everybody calls Phillip Isaac Penn, Pip. And usually they yell it at the top of their lungs. Sure he might forget to close the classroom mice's cage door, or leave his mother's hair dryer in bathtub (hey, it's unplugged), and he might even make it so that Liar Lizzy gets caught, but that doesn't make him bad. It's just not easy being a kid.
My Thoughts:
This is a well-written, easy to read book. Pip is a misunderstood kid that is always getting into trouble. He has a lot of people that are always on his case and a few people that cause the trouble for him. However, I do not understand the plot of this book and in the end the only point was that he gets in trouble and learns his lesson. I would recommend this book to children ages 5-9. Overall, I enjoyed this book but did not completely understand the point of it.
Interesting review Kenslie, and it would tempt me to buy the book. Perhaps the point is just that -
ReplyDeletethat in the end he does learn his lesson!
It would be good if everyone would learn their lesson as a child. Unfortunately, we are rather hard headed, and it takes many of us a long time to figure out that lesson.
