5.0 out of 5 stars It was a Funny Book, July 24, 1999

By A Customer

About a new cook that comes to the school, and she is Cupid. She is flipping hamburgers in the cafeteria and the Baily School Kids are trying to figure out what is going on. It was a very funny and easy to read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got to read!, May 18, 2000

By A Customer

I just read a book called Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers by Debbie Dadey. I think it was a very good book. I would recommend it to other children. The story takes place in Bailey City School and is about the school's cook. The children in the school are going to find out if the cook is a cupid or not because she is putting some kind of love potion in the lunches. They think Cupid is silly because she doesn't flip hamburgers, But Lisa said that she has to flip hamburgers because that is how they get so fat.Well that is all I going to tell you, you have to read it to see how good a book it is.

A Kid's Review

Hi i'm going to tell you a little about book number 12, Cupid Dosent Flip Hamburgers. There are four kids who live in Bailey City. There names are Eddie, Howie, Liza, and Melody. One day they go to lunch and see a new lunch lady. Melody said the new lunch lady is Cupid because the new lunch lady has pictures of Cupid and it's near Valentine's Day. The new lunch lady has brought Valentines into the picture by making their lunch hearts. Is the lunch lady really Cupid? Read this book to find out. I like this book because it's a really funny story.
