My 6yo is racing through the Judy Moody books, and I picked one up to see what they're like. If this one is representative, they're okay, but I'm not interested in reading any of the others -- I'll leave them to her. The Clementine books and Ivy & Bean books, in a similar vein and age level, are funnier to me. ( )

Judy Moody takes on a new role, that of planet saving heroine! That's right...the kids are studying the devastating effects that man has had on mother nature, and Judy is not taking it lying down. Cue the lack of un-environmentally friendly products at home, overuse of pencils in the classroom, and anything else that might hurt mother earth...but the lesson Judy learns is that all these things in moderation will help preserve our planet. Informing other versus forcing them is the way to go.
