The Best School Year Ever by Barbara Robinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is about a family of crazy kids named the Herdmans They make mischief and trouble.
My favorite part is when the Herdmans made a schoolmate crack walnuts on his forehead for the talent show. The adults get distracted and the Herdmans stole all the snacks for the talent show. This part is laugh out loud funny!
I think this I a good book for kids and moms.
Bookymom’s comments
Our family first encountered the Herdman clan in The Best Halloween Ever and we have been hooked ever since. This is the second book in a series by Barbara Robinson featuring the trouble-making antics of the Herdman kids as they terrorize The Woodrow Wilson School.
I love reading these books with my kids because the children love the wild actions of the Herdmans–smoking cigars, washing their cat at the laundromat. But, in the end, the rag-tag Herdmans aren’t all bad and often do kind things for others. In this book, Imogene gives away her baby blanket to a classmate’s sibling after he looses his own blanket.
These are wonderfully entertaining books that remind me of a simpler childhood without computers, iPads or video games.
