THIS IS THE BEST EVER BOOK FOR KIDS. I JUST READ IT TO MY DAUGHTER AND SHE ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. MARY MARONY IS SUCH A GREAT CHARACTER AND SHE UNDERSTANDS OTHER PEOPLE AND IS VERY NICE.

This book is a mystery about a person getting a hook stuck in her back. She was practicing fly fishing in the attic. There is a big lesson in this story. The lesson is: Fish outside, not inside! My favorite character is Chloe because she stayed at the hospital with Herman. People my age will like this book because it is a great mystery.

The summary inside this title states: "Constantly hushed by all the older people around her, a little girl finally goes outside and lets loose with all the noises she knows."

The pattern begins on the first page with: "SH!" says my mother. "The baby is sleeping." This continues with grandma, father, brother, sister, and others.

Suzy Kline has created an effective book for pre-school and kindergarten children to discuss appropriate places to be quiet and to be noisy. I usually read this to kindergarten students early in the school year when they begin coming to our elementary school library. The students also learn quickly from this story that S plus H makes the "sh" sound.

This book would also be an excellent resource for teaching or reinforcing onomatopoeia: those words used to express sounds.

A wonderful chapter book for young readers. My eight year old loved learning about Song Lee and the problems that she faces at school. Makayla is looking forward to receiving her next Song Lee book! A wonderful book about how our actions effect other's.

In yet another book about the loveable character, Song Lee, Suzy Kline creates an enjoyable story. Any child will laugh while reading this hilarious book!

I started reading Suzy Kline books when I was very young and loved her characters so much that I still read her books to this day. This book specifically focused on one of her lesser known, but more interesting, characters, Song Lee. It's a very interesting book and any child will love it!

Kids who have some difficulty reading are not usually motivated to pick up a chapter book. This one, however, grabs their attention right away. The antics of Herbie and his friends (especially his trouble getting rid of a girlfriend) capture the reader's interest and maintain it throughout. A great read for those 4th and 5th grade kids who may struggle with reading!

I really liked this book. It was a great book to read. Harry had a lot og imanginatioin and that is what I think made it a great book!

Harry always had a creative and vivid imagination, but now he is seeing purple people in the classroom! But the bad part is that he can only see these purple people. And so no one belives harry- not even Doug his best friend.But all of a sudden strange and unexplainable things are starting to happen in Harrys classroom 2B!Is Harry playing a trick, or are the purple people real.well you will half to find out. So read the book because it is a great mystersy book and wonderful book too. BY SAMMY

I enjoyed Horrible Harry and the Purple People by Suzy Kline. It was a great book because Harry is cool. I laughed at all the different things that happened to Harry and his friends at school. It was neat how Harry used the purple ruler and the teacher from the bee. The thing that happened was when Harry showed the purple br pouring grape juice over his friend's head. I'm sure glad it wasn't me!

A charming story of some very believable second graders and a trip to a theme park with a scary ride. When harry is afraid to ride it, Song Lee and Doug, the narrator, help to give their friend some courage. Meanwhile, another boy is making fun of him and a little girl wants nothing to do with him. The story shows how we all have fears that the support of our friends can help us to overcome. The characters do not have much time to develop, but are very real. Song Lee and her mother are Korean. Their dialogue is written with their accent to show diversity. This is a good book for middle second-graders and above to get used to the style of chapter books. Chapters are less than ten pages, with large type and always an illustration.

Why 4 stars?:
The bully character can get a little out of hand. I would have expected someone to step in and not let him torment Harry as much. Still, this is a good book that will serve as a good introduction to chapter books. The nice part about this series is a reader can start anywhere without missing too much.

Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom by Suzy Kline is a good book. The main characters are Harry and Song Lee. It starts out when Sidney dares Harry to try the Drop of Doom, an amusement park ride. Harry realizes that it's an elevator ride and Harry hates elevators! Next the children go to Song Lee's house for a party. They go to an amusement park for fun. First they went to the haunted house. The ride stopped and a ghost popped out in their face. Then it blacked out, the ride turned on and they got out safely. The next ride was the Drop of Doom! Finally, Harry gets on with Song Lee. It starts going up and up. The elevator door opened up to show the whole amusement park. Then the door closed! Song Lee squeezed Harry's hand, and then AHHHH the Drop of Doom dropped fast down. Harry made it. I highly recommend Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom by Suzy Kline. By reading this book Harry will teach you two valuable lessons. First, always face your fears no matter how scary they are. Second, never forget that your friends are there to help you.

Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom

A Book Report By ...

I am writing a review of the book Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom. This book is one in a series of 'horrible Harry' books. This one happens to be an adventure of sorts. It is also filled with action and funny at times too.

Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom is a book that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, but it is written to be read by kids from ages seven to eleven. People who like action and adventure are sure the like this book. I will tell you a little about this book.

Harry, the main character, and his friends finish their second grade year by going to an amusement Park. Harry is dared by his enemy, Sidney, to ride a new ride called 'The Drop of Doom'. This story tells about Harry' s struggle to overcome his fears. It talks about the importance of friendship and the power of peer pressure. It certainly discusses many issues kids this age face now.

I give this book a high recommendation. It is sure to hold your attention until the very end. I give Horrible Harry and the Drop of Doom 'two thumbs up'

This book was kind of good. The reason I gave it four stars is because I think each chapter should follow each other instead of being different each time.

This book has four chapters. In the first chapter the class picked secret pals. In the second chapter the principal found a cigarette under a cafeteria table. After that the class drew posters about the bad effects of smoking. In the third chapter they read Charlotte's Web. They put cobwebs all over the school. In the last chapter Harry taught the class how to spike their hair. My favorite chapter is The Demonstration. Why? Because I would like to give a demonstration to my class. I think other kids my age will like this book because it has many funny parts.
