otterover 8 yearsThis bookis possibly the funniest book I have ever read. If you are awesome and nerdy, this book is for you!
This was a good book, even though it was only a few pages long. I don't usually like love stories, but I thought how mathemetic this is, and I like math(sort of) so I like the book. I think that the line was a little bit like the little engine that could. He kept on trying until he did what he wanted to do.
