Even the neighbors' dog is coming over and taking rocks from his mom's garden. You will find out why the dog is collecting them for the bullies next door. This Will Hobbs book will have you flying through the pages.

Punished!

Do you know what a pun is? Reading this book, you will get your fill of puns very quickly and I wonder if any of you will be talking in puns before this book is finished. The setting for this story begins in the library! What could be better? Actually the two boys visit the library reluctantly - they much rather play baseball. Logan's favorite section is 796.357. The place in the sports section where the baseball books are. You will love following Logan as he tries to get rid of his punny language. But the curse doesn't stop there— Professor Wordsworth has another challenge for him. Punished by David Lubar is a short and entertaining book you will definitely enjoy.
