My Dog May Be a Genius
Jack Prelutsky (2008), 160 pages
Illustrated by James Stevenson
Audience: Preschool - 4th Grade
Did you know that Jack Prelutsky's poems can be sung to well-known tunes? The only problem is figuring which one. As you read them out loud, you may notice that the beats sound familiar. My favorite poem can not be completely written here. Here is the shortened version of 'Call of the Long-winded Clumsy Owl.' Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooops!

If you started going to a brand new school, who could you tell about your very worst days? Maureen 'MO' Murphy shares them with her, 'My Worst Days Diary.'

Seventh grader Frankie's life is thrown into turmoil when she inadvertently opens her widowed father's email and discovers he has met and become interested in a woman. In an attempt to thwart their romance, she replies to the woman's messages with all sorts of untrue information about her father and younger brothers.
Of her brothers, she writes, they have diarrhea every minute of the day and are genetically disposed to being mean to adult females. She then tells her that her father is chronically ill, so kissing him is a bad idea. Besides, he just became engaged to someone else. The woman is a zookeeper specializing in naked mole rats. How she handles Frankie's correspondence and helps her solve many other junior high disappointments and issues is a hilarious treat to read.
