Read an Excerpt

PLIP! Judy Moody woke up. Drip, drip, drip went rain on the roof. Blip, blip, blip went drops on the window. Not again! It had been raining for seven days straight.

Editorial Reviews

[McDonald] finds ample comedy in the way children mishear words and mangle information [and] Reynolds' buoyant sketches depict Judy's ups and downs in this fifth book of a series that proves laughter can be contagious.
—Booklist

Brings back the irrepressible heroine as her class studies the human body.
—Publishers Weekly

The author's humor and language are right on target. . . . As always, there are facts to be learned and loads of puns and playful language to entertain readers. This is another winner.
—School Library Journal

From the Publisher

Get ready to bone up on the human body along with third-grader Judy Moody and her class. As Mr. Todd takes the class through their paces, Judy has run-ins with Jessica Finch, opportunities to outwit her brother, Stink, and moments that capture both her naïveté and self-confidence. McDonald outdoes herself with a myriad of skeleton jokes and medical word play to delight the young listener. Kate Forbes’s narration radiates Judy’s personality. Forbes gives just the right intonation for various classmates and plays with words in fine juvenile fashion. One knows that Forbes is laughing, despairing, or cheering at Judy’s "medical" presentation and stay-at-home tonsillitis. A.R. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
