Summary:
One day Barry wakes up and discovers he’s turned into a boyhound, complete with all the boyhound urges, like the need to slurp his breakfast off the floor, eat gross things and go on outdoor adventures. Barry’s mom, his two best friends and his sister can’t figure out what’s gotten into him. Will they discover the truth before the day is out?

My Thoughts:
Every 10-year-old boy would love to read this hilarious and witty book. And its chock-full of pictures, diagrams, and informative definitions. It’s like when you hide the vegetables under the cheese sauce. Children will learn new things from this book without realizing they’re learning at all! And it’s also a great choice if you’re looking for a crossover book from the popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
