5.0 out of 5 stars Book #1--good basis for the Polk Street Series, April 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Beast in Ms. Rooney's Room (The Kids of the Polk Street School) (Paperback)

Giff set this series off to a good start with this book 1. I read it when I was 9. It came in the mail from Weekly Reader Books (my dad sent away for those for me!) Every month I got books in the mail and this was one of them. At the time I didn't know it was a series, though.

A year after reading this book I could feel for Richard "Beast" when I, too, was left back (it was for circumstances beyond my control, but still!) In this book, Beast struggles to survive and fit in, suffers losing his friends, who advanced to the next grade and reject him. This book is so good!

I started reading a chapter a day with the Candy Corn book before Thanksgiving. This series has been a wonderful way to get early readers interested in books. The students are learning the names of the community in the Kids of Polk Street School and can't wait for the next chapter, then the next book.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Beast in Ms. Rooney's Room (The Kids of the Polk Street School) (Paperback)

I thought this book was excellent because in the end Beast did his best! In the beginning, Beast was not paying attention. Beast was a left-back. I really liked when Beast helped his class to win the banner.
