World's Dumbest Crooks by Allan Zullo

I give this book 5 stars.
It is funny. This book is actually a collection of true stories, some only a few sentences long telling how sometimes crooks make dumb mistakes. It's not just about criminals but also mistakes professional sports mistakes and funny stories like the mother who thought her son had a strange bump on the back of his neck, she took him to the doctor and he removed the old wad of gum.

My favorite story is about a robber who stole money from a store- ran down the street and turned to corner to only run into 2 police men whose guns were drawn on a murder suspect lying down on the ground! Talk about bad luck! He throws his hands in the air and gives himself up- to find out - they aren't real police officers! A TV show was filming and the fake police men looked at each other wondering what to do. But the real police were there shortly to take him away- for real.

Good book if you like to just pick something up to read.

The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes

Only 80 pages long- I really liked this story so I give it 5 stars.

This story is about a group of girls in classroom 13. All the girls are wrapped up in who has the prettiest dresses and poor Wanda wears the same tattered faded blue dress every day. When Wanda states she has 100 dresses at home- the girls can't resist asking her and mocking her daily about it- especially Peggy and Maddie.

There is a twist to the story- but in the end the girls learn the truth about Wanda's 100 dresses!

It is the type of story that makes you want to be a better person. I don't ever want to miss an opportunity to be friends with someone like Maddie and Peggy.
