Super Burp! #1 (George Brown, Class Clown) (vuoden 2010 painos)

By the same author of Katie Kazoo Switcharoo. Katie is mentioned in the book. This is a a book boys will love and can relate to--super burp!!

Oh how I loved this book, let me count the ways. Aaron Blecha's drawings are awesome!! Showing George Brown's mouth and his warped tounge during the first burp was awesome. I had no idea how the story was going to play out. I loved every page of this book. I cannot wait to read all the books in the series and stay in the loop when a new one comes out. ( )

From School Library Journal
Gr 2-4–George Brown moves to a new town and leaves his olds friends behind. Having had a reputation as the class clown and funny man, he is determined to mend his ways and get the kids in his new class to like him without jokes. Then his parents take him out for ice cream and he suddenly lets out the biggest burp ever. It takes over his body and he starts dancing on the table. When the burp pops, he doesn't know what came over him and why he isn't able to control himself. The burp haunts him at home and at school, causing him to do such things as skateboard in the hallways. He tries to control it and, in the meantime, make some friends by just being himself. The kids are a typical cast of characters with the popular boy giving George a hard time and the nice nerdy kid befriending him. The story line makes for a fun read, but it's not outstanding or innovative. Line drawings add humor and break up the short chapters. Since the book ends with George questioning whether he can control his burps in the future, more titles in the series are sure to follow.Clare A. Dombrowski, Amesbury Public Library, MA

A good one for the boys who like to read about funny boys doing 'bad' things like burping and acting crazy. 2nd or 3rd grade. ( )
