4.0 out of 5 stars Super book!, June 19, 2006
A Kid's Review
I think this book was excellent because it was really funny. My favorite part was when the firemen put out the fire in the meadow. That was my favorite part because it made the whole family go outside and see it. Dink and Ruth Rose were sleeping over in Josh's barn when the fire happened. This fire led to an exciting adventure. Please read this book! It's great for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, June 18, 2003
A Kid's Review
It's my level of reading. It had some funny parts and it had some scary parts. My favorite part was when they were playing a game seeing if ducks would come over the bridge. Good book for a 2nd or 3rd grader.
