Horrible Harry And The Kickball Wedding

My son, ten, likes these books. They are silly and have cute illustrations. They are easy enough that he doesn't need help and can read alone. The chapters are brief which appeals to my super-energetic can't be still boy. He likes the characters and their antics which are fun and harmless. I recommend for readers who like shorter chapter books with action, humor and illustrations.

I like this story because it is so funny because two kindergarten kids want to get married to each other. I think this book is so fuuny because people mock Horrible Harry and he gets mad at them and tickle them so hard he make them fall to the floor. Then they go to the big tree at the park to get married. Now that's what I call a good book.

I've been teaching 2nd grade for a dozen years now, and this is a perennial favorite of my students'. The story is excellent, and the wedding theme combined with the kickball and Harry's antics appeal to almost all the children. The story is terrific to read-aloud to children, or to have a guided-reading lesson with. I recommend reading this book in February since there's an excellent Valentine's Day connection.

What I mostly liked about it was it is funny. This book is about Harry and Songlee getting married on Valentine's Day. Of course you do know that they really don't get married. They called it the kick ball wedding and that's the title of this book. The funniest part, I think, is at the end of the book Horrible Harry at recess didn't finish the wedding because they went and played kick ball; they finished the wedding when they were lining up to go back into the classroom. If they made a sequel to the book, I would think that they would probably sit close together if they got married.

This book is funny and so are the others, this book is a great book for young ones
