A Kid's Review

This review is from: Martians Don't Take Temperatures (The Adventures Of The Bailey School Kids) (Paperback)

I have picked out this book because I think this book is the best book I have read this quater. The book is called Martians Don't Take Temperature. It is about four friends named Liza,Melody Howie and Eddie. Howie thinks that the new school nurse is a martian, but liza didn't believe in him. They have been noticing the school nurse use different words to take tempreatures. I choose this book as my favorite book because it reminds me of me and my four friends. We used to hang out together.I would like to recommend this book to the people who like to have fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Howie and Eddie's joke, March 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Martians Don't Take Temperatures (The Adventures Of The Bailey School Kids) (Paperback)

My name is Timmy I read Martians Don't Take Temperatures. I like the part when Howie said, "We better get inside before Liza sneezes her head off." And I like the part when Eddie said "Cool. I wonder if Liza's head would bounce."
