She is replaced with super cheap, very healthy bang up-to-date dinner ladies. They feed the children sausages in a tube and Broccoli liquid in a tin. The parents come the next night to see what the new system is. At first the parents are completely fooled but they find out.

Stink the Incredible Shrinking Kid-By Megan McDonald

This book is about a very funny boy named James, but he is always called Stink (even by his own parents). At only 1 metre and 12 centimetres he is the shortest person in class 2D. But one day he is mesured by his sister Judy and he is half a centimetre shorter. Judy tries to make him taller, as do his parents but all they can do is accidently turn his hair orange. He goes to school the next day and comes home with Newton, the class Newt. He once again is mishelped by his sister Judy and loses the cutest pet ever. If you meet him don't mention sushi. Stink has always been a huge fan of the fourth American president James Madison. That is just reassured at the end of the book when he receives from the Governor the James Madison piece and the Friendship Medal of honour.

This book was written by Megan McDonald
This book was illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds
I give this book a rating of 9.9/10

This book is an awesome story about two schools named the By-Gum Young Gentleman's College and the Lah-Dee-Dah Young Ladies Academy. Between them is the Teeny Weeny Kids' Kindy. One day both schools get a new student. They had once burnt down their preschool (being worth ten caret of gold they were both expelled) together when they were 4. The two schools get into a cross war and a terrible accident occurs. (Involving two expensive cars and lots of arguments)

This book was written by Dianne Bates and Bettina Guthridge.
This book is funny and is set in a variety of places.
I give this book a rating of 6.9/10
