It was very hysterical. There were a lot of parts in it that were really funny. His little brother reminds me of my cousin.

This was very funny.It was good that the teacher gave him a second chance.It was good that he found the money.I am surprised that the dog didn't dig up the money.I was glad that he got his money back and he bought the guitar.

I Thought it was funny because Brian got credit for his homework butthe funny ting is he was supposed to write it.Instead he said it out loud to the class.He didn't get to finish it so he had to write the end.

I liked when Brian got the guitar. That was a fast, heartbeating moment. The little brother reminds me of my baby cousin.

I enjoyed this book because it was funny. My favorite part of the book is when the main character, Brian, had a sock filled with money and his dog took it and hid it. I thought it could have had a better storyline. I did not like the plot when it skipped from different settings to different characters because it is confusing to the reader.

What I didn't like about the book was how it jumped from setting and characters, because it was confusing to the reader. However, overall it was a great book.

I liked the book very much because it is very funny. I liked the part when Stevie was running and clothespins were falling off him. also I like how at the beginning of the day at school the announcer says the word of the day. For example: O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G. We will have an outstanding lunch today.I didn't like the chapters because they were too short.

I read the Sloppy Copy Slip Up and it was really great. I enjoyed it a lot. You are about to read the three reasons I liked the book and other things that happened in the book but first, you will read a summary.

The story was about a boy nicknamed the “Big Hig” Keeps forgetting his homework and then his teacher says, if you forget your homework 1 more time you are in a lot of trouble. That problem was solved but, he was lucky that he had the time to do his homework in class.

The three reasons I liked the book are very great. First, it had an outstanding hook at the end of each chapter. Also, the “Big Hig” would make up very, very, very funny excuses when he forgot his homework.

The book was the funniest book I have ever read.

You should read this book because it looked good to read and you can read it in 2 or 3 days. My favorite part was when Brian brought a white piece of paper to Miss Fromme, and she marked it with a red zero.

It is a very good book and when you read the beginning you will think that you will want to read it more. The end is great when the dog has the socks and not Brian.
