Roscoe Riley Rules

review 1: It was funny and succinct. It had a moral story...dealing with bullies, standing up for yourself, stealing, and making wrong decisions...but it came across very kid friendly without being heavy handed. There was no thumping on the head about who is right and who is wrong. How kids react to each other and situations came across as very real to me. I laughed out loud and some of the things Roscoe said.Cleverly written and ended on a good note.
review 2: I read this book as part of my quest for easy chapter books featuring boys at the main characters. The story was cute and Roscoe is a kid with quite the personality. My one big beef with this book is that it is almost completely comprised of paragraphs that are only one sentence long. I'm not sure why this is, ... morebecause having so many ridiculously short paragraphs doesn't allow any of the sentences to stand out, which is kind of the usualy purpose of inserting a few such short paragraphs into a story. It drove me crazy, but very young readers might not be so bothered by it. less
