Minn and Jake Part I
We only had to read to page 72, but I couldn't stop! It was so cute. I liked how the story was in a verse format. My favorite part was when Jake compared the kids in class to animals in a past life. Later, while Minn and Jake were catching lizards, Minn compared herself to a squid, which is exactly what Jake thought she was.

Heather: I really liked Jake's descriptions of all the other kids as different animals, but I especially liked the drawing that accompanies it on the following page. And yes, that Minn sees herself one way, and Jake sees her in a way different way, well, it has to do with the theme of self-perception and how off it is sometimes.
this is my absolute favorite book by far! i was just like you-couldn't put it down. it just flows so easily that by the time you know it, you've already finished reading the book! really really cute story.
