Title: Noodles Makes a Boo Boo Reviewer: Carlin
grade 3
Author: Jones, Marcia Teacher: Littrell, Amy
Illustrator: Ware, Chris School: Russell Elementary

Review: 
Have you ever read a book about a robot? Well I have and you might want to read it because it is about a robot that messes up every thing.

This story take place at home and school.

The main characters in the story are Bailey, Dad,Mr.Falkner Danny,Noodles and Boo boo.

Noodles and Danny entered the science fair. Noodles' project was a robot. Danny's project was to see what toy Bailey liked the best. Boo-boo messes up and Noodles makes adjustments. Danny wins the ribbon.

If I were you I would read the book because it is about a robot that messes up every thing and I think it is funny.
