Skinnybones (Passports) Review

This book is my all time favorite book. It is very interesting because it has a very good plot. Often I understood exactly how alex (the main character in skinnybones) felt. For example, when my friend popped a hole in a blow up chair, then I sat on it and it slowly made air come out of the chair and it made it look like I did it. I felt embarassed and stupid. The same thing happened to alex when he was playing a baseball game in front of a big crowd. Alex ran up to this kid named T.J and started poking him in the chest saying booga booga. Alex got so embarassed he ran home and never wanted to say the words booga booga again. This book also has other good characters. There's not one thing I don't like about this book. I say if you want a book you can enjoy and have fun with, I'd choose skinnybones.

Skinnybones (Passports) Overview

Play Ball???

"I've played Little League baseball for six years now. But to tell you the truth, I'm not exactly what you'd call a real good athlete. Actually, I'm not even real okay. Basically, what I'm trying to say here is, I stink."

For the smallest kid on the baseball team, Alex "Skinnybones" Frankovitch has a major-league bigmouth! But even Alex knows he's gone too far when he brags his way into a pitching contest with T.J. Stoner, the best baseball player -- and biggest creep -- in the entire school. What a mistake! This might be one mess that not even Alex can talk his way out of--

The funniest book I have ever read ! - Debbie Tinkham -
I purchased this book to read to my grand kids on a family camping trip. It was so funny it had to be shared with everyone. We would sit around the campfire in the morning and again at night passing the book around the circle each person taking a turn reading aloud. There were times the book had to be passed to the next person because the reader was laughing so hard they could not speak. The campers in the next camp spot heard us and asked to borrow the book. They too laughed so hard we could hear them from our spot. This is an excellent family book for boys and girls and adults who want to laugh.

I laughed so hard my sides hurt! - Grace Defloreis - New York
"My cat eats Kitty Fritters because....I figure if she didn't she would probably be dead by now."

I don't know what it is about this book, but it's the funniest thing. It's breezy, fun, and feels like the author didn't even edit it, just put down the first thing that came to her mind.

It must be over 10 years since I've read Skinnybones, and I still love it!

Very funny - B. Burk - UT
I read this book aloud to my fourth graders at the beginning of the year and they loved it (both boys and girls). Park brought humor into the school atmopshere and brought my students together. My favorite part of the book is when skinnybones thought that bunting (from baseball) was hurling, it was very funny.

a classic - Clinton S. Harper - Austin, TX
This book is a must read for teachers of pre-teen boys. It captures their attention so well because it is all about their world. It is very entertaining and even your hestitant readers will love it!
