Judy
gets a taste of her own medicine in a hilarious new episode sure to
tickle your humerus (aka funny bone) and put you in a very Judy Moody
mood! She took her own temperature. With the fancy thermometer
that beeped. It was not normal. It was not 98.6. Judy's temperature was
188.8! Judy's temperature was 00.0! Judy's temperature was
beep-beep-beep-beep-beep. She, Judy Moody, had the temperature of an
outer-space alien! Judy Moody has a mood for every occasion, and
now, she, Judy Moody, is in a medical mood! It's no secret that Judy
wants to be like Elizabeth Blackwell, first woman doctor, when she grows
up. So when Class 3T starts to study the Amazing Human Body, Judy can
hardly wait to begin her better-than-best-ever third-grade projects:
show-and-tell with something way rarer than a scab, a real-live ooey-gooey
operation, and a cloning experiment that may create double trouble for
Judy and her friends. RARE!
School Library Journal : Grade 3-4–Judy Moody returns, and here her medical aspirations go undeterred as she runs the gamut of roles from third-grade med student to nurse, doctor, and patient. She is learning about the human body in Mr. Todd's class, is excited about her project to dress as Elizabeth Blackwell, and will even perform surgery on a live object in front of the class. McDonald once again creates a feisty, individualistic, "RARE!" third grader with a very active imagination, keen wit, and a strong desire to explore the world around her. The author's humor and language are right on target, from describing the ups and downs in Judy's world, sibling rivalry, and conflicts with friends to a hilarious cloning episode. As always, there are facts to be learned and loads of puns and playful language to entertain readers. This is another winner, "for real and absolute positive."
Booklist
: Gr. 2-4. When her third-grade class studies the human body, Judy Moody
dives into the topic with characteristic zeal and imagination. For a
class project, she dresses as Elizabeth Blackwell, even attaching fake
leeches to her head, reads her poem about the first woman doctor, and
performs surgery on a zucchini. Dr. Judy prescribes Popsicles and prunes
for her brother's tonsillitis but soon finds herself in bed with the
same illness. Worse, she becomes the butt of a cleverly orchestrated
practical joke. The class field trip and anatomy lessons are liberally
laced with jokes and "humerus" word play, but McDonald never
resorts to coarse humor. She finds ample comedy in the way children
mishear words and mangle information. Reynolds' buoyant sketches depict
Judy's ups and downs in this fifth book of a series that proves laughter
can be contagious.
