Out of the seventy-five books, I've read this year, counting last year altogether. My most favorite book is Shoebag. The author is Mary James. There was a boy who became a cockroach and was adopted by the Biddles. Pretty Soft is a Tiolet Paper commerical girl. I will rate this book 5 stars because it is funny. The characters have funny names too! And they're also funny.

I read all night. I couldn't put it down. My favorite character is Shoebag, of course! I think Pretty Soft and G.De La.G resemble me the most.

I teach reading to seventh graders. This book is a big hit with my reluctant readers! I get a little upset when the elementary teachers read it to their classes because that action leaves me without a great book to teach. Although easy to read, there's some "meaty" stuff in here that leads to great class discussions and a memorable reading experience for my students.

Shoebag is a strange book. It is about a cockroach named Shoebag that turns into a human. He turned into a cockroach while he was sleeping. When the people in the building noticed him they adopt him. He starts living a normal life, but his family is going to die. What will he do to be himself again and try to save his family?
This book had some funny parts, but it was boring and it also didn't make sense. I just recommend this book to people who like fiction and strange stories.

The book, Shoebag by Mary James is the weirdest book I've ever read. It's about a cockroach who becomes a person and how his life changes. Though it was weird I liked it. Before I read it I thought it would be boring, but it was incredibly funny. I recommend this book to whoever likes comedies

The book Shoebag is a very good book. It's about a magical cockroach named Shoebag that transforms into a boy. Now that he is a boy, he has to live a new life. Do you think he can survive? Well, if you want to find out read the book. I recommend it to people that like to read fiction and well written stories. This book keeps you interested in finding out the end. In other words, you don't want to put it down. You will not regret reading Shoebag!

The book, Shoebag is written by Mary James. Shoebag is about a cockroach that turns into a human. The genre is fiction. It takes place in a school, a house and a park. The problem is that Shoebag had too many problems like being picked on and a spider wants to eat his mother.This book was one of the weirdest and coolest books I have ever read. I recommend this book to people who like strange and dramatic stories.

I love this book! Its the best book I've ever read! The book is called Shoebag by Mary James. There was a cockroach named Shoebag(He was named after his place of birth).He lived with his mother,Drain Board, and his father,Under the toaster! One day, Shoebag turned into a boy, and lives with a girl named Pretty Soft, a toilet paper commercial girl, and her family. I rate this book 5 star because its so interesting I can't put the book down! Mary James,can you please write many, many, many sequences about Shoebag?I love your books!

I tend to read more than my agelevel's usual quotient of children's books, and this one is really, really, reallyreally good. Plus, it includes the 'Cockroach Prayer for the Dead' which I use fairly frequently in real life.. this book is more than worth it.

Shoebag, the funny story of a young cockroach turned human is more than just a funny children's book. It has a strong message about changing, and still being the same. Read the book.
