5.0 out of 5 stars

Fantastic read! You will definetly enjoy!

I highly recommend this book. It's funny and I love how each character (animal) in the story has its own personality. It's an easy read and any child who is into chapter book will enjoy reading this book. It's a cute story of how some friends in room 217 help the students in the classroom. It is very clever how the author chose classroom pest such as a fly and a cockroach as the main characters. Reading some of the problems children face at home and how they bring it to school made me see the reality in the classroom. The story line was great, I was able to imagine each character and I could definetly see a part two to this story. My nephew is reading the story now and I could hear him giggle. I can tell he is enjoying the story as much as I did.
