Mr Tripp Smells a Rat!

I think this book was hilarious and very interesting. The story demonstrated different ways to solve everyday problems. For example, Mr Tripp said everyone had nits, but then he discovered that he was the one that I really had nits. So he had to solve his own nit problems. I found the I story very engaging and I especially I loved how the author described the (vivacious, comical characters.

My favourite part of the story was the scene where (there was a rat on the loose in the Year 5 classroom. Mr (Tripp, the teacher, had to try and locate the rat by sniffing the classroom floor. When he found the rat he jumped up on the table and screamed like a little girl. It was hysterical!

Mr Tripp says that every person in the WORLD has a (different talent. He is right to say that, because all the (children in Year 5 have one crazy and great talent. Mr Tripp has more than one talent--he has two awesome (talents. He can tell funny jokes and he has a very clever nose! But is he brave enough for the problems that overcome him?

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to have a laugh or anyone who wants to learn a thing or two.
