review 1: Hey it's me Roscoe Riley and I'm timeout again. But don't judge me yet because you don't know the whole story. Let me tell it to yah. At Shalinto am about her taxes from tap dance class and made a lot of noise Roscoe thought that that was awesome and he wanted to try it. He asked his mom if you could take Dance lessons and they had a good conversation on it. His big brother Wyatt said that tap dance is for girls. He also said that Roscoe wouldn't want to be teased by other Boy's. Roscoe didn't care what his big brother had said he stuck to his promise and his parents let him take tap dance lessons. The first day of school didn't really like it so he decided to ask the tap dance teacher to send on the bench for second because he thinks he has a rock in his tap shoe. The nex... moret day at school he brought his tap dance shoes with him just like Emma did. At recess kids made fun of them but one of Roscoe's best friends defended him. Roscoe decided to fake breaking his whole body and he got crutches. In this classroom his teacher Mrs. Diz maid an announcement and said that. One of the kindergarten teachers Mrs. Herman was retiring from being a teacher. So they had a showing tell for her in the Auditorium. On Emma's turn Roscoe felt sad that she had to perform by herself. She looked so sad so Roscoe decided to take off his crutches and put on his tap shoes and get out there start tapping. Everyone clapped for their performance. At home he explained it to everyone. So that's why i'm in time hope you like it. So get ready for the next book.
review 2: Roscoe Riley Rules is a fun new series for kids new to reading chapter books. Roscoe Riley is a good-hearted first grader who gets into all sorts of mishaps with his teachers and friends. It's a great choice for first and second graders who are ready to read a chapter book, but still need the support of plenty of pictures and a controlled vocabulary. Best of all, this story is both fun and thoughtful.In this story, Roscoe really wants to take tap lessons because he loves the sounds that his friend Emma's shoes make when she dances. They're loud! They're fun! "Shoes with built-in noise? I thought. What will they think of next?" Some of the boys warn him that tap dancing is for girls, but Roscoe loved watching a video of a famous male tap dancer. The guy whirled faster and faster, and his tapping got louder and louder. "I never dreamed feet could make so much noise!" But Roscoe starts to get second thoughts when he realized that he was the only boy at tap lessons. And when Roscoe and Emma are getting ready to perform at a school assembly, Roscoe decides he can't go through with it and he fakes an injury.I like the short, snappy sentences and the simple vocabulary. The print is large and set off with lots of white space. Black-and-white drawings, some full page, help new readers figure out what is happening.But best of all is how Roscoe wrestles with his decision. He's found something he loves to do, but when the big boys tease him, Roscoe doubts himself. So he lies to his best friend and feels awful. This is a funny book that's also thought-provoking, a winning combination. less
