The cootie kisser convention on Canterbury Court

Jim Gratiot has weaved a story together that will keep a newly confident reader engaged. It wraps classic themes of gender relations and overcoming adversity into a school yard context of water balloons and laughing items out of your nose.

Funny, great book that's perfect for kids and all adults who have a little of the kid in them. I can't wait for the sequel (hope there is a sequel)!

I read this book before I gave it to my kids. What a great story.
