Summary: read this if you want a good review!
Comment: I think that you should read "The Worlds Greatest Toe Show". It is interesting, exciting, and funny. Here is a summery about the book. "The Worlds Greatest Toe Show" is about a group that wanted the best both in the fair. One of those people was Emily. A few months ago her father was in a bicycle accident and lost his toe. The next day alot of people went to the place of the accident to try to find the toe but no one could. A week later Emily went to the place of the accident and found the lost toe. She didnt tell anyone until now. So after she told the group her idea and everyone thought that would be the greatest. The day of the fair came and everyone thought it was the dance. The price was one touch 75 cents, one peak 50 cents. Then two girls cam ein and got freaked and knocked the table over which caused the toe to fall off. Then the table hit them both which made a mess and.... I hope this summary will make you want to read the book!!!

Summary: Gross humor appeals to grade school kids
Comment: It's school fair time, and the five members of the Canal Street Kids are eager to win the grand prize by bringing in the most money with their booth. Their mission is to come up with a better booth idea than their archrivals, snooty Bunny Bigelow and Violetta Epstein.

While Bunny and Violetta's organic bake sale booth (color-coordinated in periwinkle and cranberry) attempts haut cuisine (or at least haut décor,) the Canal Street Kids' booth aims a tad lower. The main attraction? Emily's father's severed toe.

This is exactly the type of gross humor that appeals to grade school kids. The grossness is handled very lightly, so the book should appeal equally to girls and boys (which is good since the Canal Street Kids have both boy and girl members and the series itself is unisex.) The length is just right for upper elementary readers and the pencil drawings, liberally sprinkled throughout, support the text nicely.
