After reading Ms. Coco Is Loco by Dan Gutman, illustrated by Jim Paillot, I was very amused. I enjoyed reading this book, and it reminded me a little bit of the Junie B. Jones series with its humor and language usage for young readers. This book is part of the series, "My Weird School", which contains a variety of books with rhyming titles about child in different school scenarios.
In this story, a boy named AJ is ashamed to be in the gifted and talented program, and even more ashamed to be participating in a poetry contest with his classmates. This story reflects the feelings of a young student who turns out to be an excellent poet, but is embarrassed of his talents. Once his friends realize that his work is getting recognized by the teacher, his friends are eager to buy his poems to hand in for homework, in exchange for their lunch money. Once all of the students realize that poetry is not something for "nerds", they are proud of their talents, especially AJ.
This story is a fun and easy read. It is an excellent story for children ages 7-10.
I would definitely recommend this book!
