The Kid In The Red Jacket was a very funny book for all ages to get humor out of. I want to get this book a lot now that I`ve read it. The story of Howard Jeeter and his pesky little neighbor Molly is an enchanting story. I only give this book 4 stars because I thought that the base of the story could have been better and more detailed. Overall, this book is highly recommended by my fifth grade class. Special thanks to my teacher for reading it and making the very humorous Molly Vera Thompson voices and many others. Also, for being such a great teacher. P.S. You really would want her. She`s great!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is a gem. My now college aged child, who still reads many, many books, enjoyed reading this book over and over again years ago. The wonderful part about this book is that Barbara Park is able to entertain an eight year old and entertain their adult parent as well. She uses so much humor in this book and both my child and I were laughing, out loud. I found that I was reading ahead in the book long after my child was in bed the first night that we had began reading it. I highly recommend this book for it's witty writing, it's life lesson to be learned, and mostly for the chance to experience a wonderful book with my child.

Did you ever want to move to a new state and look for new adventures? Well, ten-year-old Howard Jeeter didn't want to. He is the main character in the book The Kid in the Red Jacket by Barbara Park.
This book is a hilarious story about Howard and his family moving from Arizona to Massachusetts. The story describes how Howard has to get used to living on Chester Pewe street. He has to make new friends and deal with the little girl across the street named Molly Vera Thompson. She is a six year old who decides to make Howard her friend because there are no other kids her age on the street. Howard gets stuck playing dolls and coloring with her. Howard is sure this will kill him.
Barbara Park did a great job writing a book that was funny. She entertains the reader. I like the book a lot because it is so funny.
I would recommend this book because it makes you laugh. Kids in third grade and up would probably enjoy this book, too.

I really,really love the book called, The Kid in the Red Jacket.
It is so so funny.If any girl or boy reads this book I bet they will laugh there heads off.One thing that was really funny in the book was there was a girl that went and yelled to a boy named Howard.She said'Howard why are you running so fast / Do you have to use the potty/That is so so funny.I really love this book.

The kid in the red jacket is one of the best books I've ever read. This book is about a boy who has two best friends and he has to move to another state. Howard has a girl across the street named Molly Vera Thompson who is six years old. She loves to play dolls. Of course it bugs the daylights out of Howard. Molly has a doll named Madeline and Molly thinks that she is a "watch doll." Barbara Park is a very good writer. So if your in second grade or up then this is a great book for you!

This excellent book has motivated reluctant readers to read willingly. Howard moves to a new town, only to be befriended by a six year old girl who wants to be his best friend. Howard learns to accept her friendship, and teach her limits on what he will and will not do. In the classroom I have had several students read this book who are usually struggling readers. The book makes them want to read. Thank you Barbara Parks. You are helping me by making my job easier!

The Kid in The Red Jacket is a great book. It is one of the greatest books I have ever read. In the story the main character is Howard Jetter.Howard has to move from Arazoina to Massachutes leaving his two best freinds Rogger and Thornsberry behind. When he gets to his new
house he finds out that he lives on Chester Pewe street.
But he finds out something worse. He finds out that a little girl named Molly Vera Thompson lives right across the street from him. Throughout this whole book, Molly is following him and embarassing him in front of his new friends. To find out more, read this really, really good book.

I enjoyed this book because it really explains what a new kid goes
though.Bullies,making friends,meeting people are all the the things new kids have to do.Well my favorite character was the main
character.He has met a little girl that wants to be his friend,and
bugs him every day.She comes to his house every day to talk to him.He is embarrassed by her.The whole story he is trying to get
away from her.The ending will leave you shocked.You would have
never thought that it would have happened that way!

This book was about a boy named Howard Jeeter that had to move from Arizona to Massachusttets.If you are one of those people who have to move, I think you should read this story. It's called The Kid in the Red Jacket by Barbara Park.This book reminds me of the day I had to move to another school and I didn't know where the bathroom was. Anyway, I think you should read this book.
