The book itself has a look as fresh as its heroine . . .The book
opens . . . with a hilarious spread in pen-and-ink wash . . . the
dialogue is spot-on . . . It's hard to imagine a mood Judy couldn't
improve.
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
...[T]his beginning chapter book features large type; simple,
expressive prose and dialogue; and plenty of child-appealing humor.
Children will enjoy lively Judy and her diverse hobbies and
adventures with best-friend Rocky. They'll also like the witty,
detailed drawings (especially the picture of Judy's unique collage,
a nice activity idea) . . . An entertaining story that portrays
challenges and pleasures from a kid's perspective, and shows how
making the best of things can have surprising rewards.
—Booklist
Changeable skies arch over a third-grader's moodscape in this
easy-reading chapter book . . . Reynolds's black-and-white washes
are perfectly placed to track Judy's ups and downs . . . Surefire
fare for Cleary, Kline, and Hurwitz fans.
—Kirkus Reviews
McDonald's offbeat humor coupled with expressive black-and-white
cartoonlike illustrations make Judy, her family, and her friends
both appealing and realistic.
—The Horn Book Guide
Fans of Beverly Cleary and the Amber Brown books should appreciate
this fresh, energetic series about an irresistibly willful third
grader.
—FamilyFun
Judy is just, well, intense, in that at-odds-with-the-whole-world
way typical of third graders . . . this large-type chapter book is
immensely funny . . . Fuming all the way, Judy Moody rules.
