Judy Moody: In a Monday Mood

Judy Moody: In a Monday Mood
by Megan McDonald (Author) and Peter H. Reynolds (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Judy Moody is Monday-morning mopey. Another week in her same-old seat at her same-old desk in her same-old school. Even worse, there aren’t any days off from school for ages. But when she steps into Class 3T, Judy’s Monday frown turns upside down. Pop! Pop! Pop-pop-pop! Mr. Todd is making Monday special by celebrating Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day (no lie)! This gives Judy an idea that just-might-maybe turn her week around: why not make every day of the week a holiday? But after she and her friends come up with a week’s worth of wacky celebrations, from feeding ninja squirrels to honoring National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day, will the weekend be one big letdown?

Snippet: When she woke up on Monday morning, she, Judy Moody, had the blues. The Monday morning blues. The Monday morning blahs. Another week of school. Another week of spelling. Another week of Grouchy pencils.
