About Gooney Bird Greene

by Finnley and Charlie

Gooney Bird Greene, by Lois Lowry, is the most hilarious character of all the books that the class has read.  It is about a girl who is in second grade and moves to a new school. She only tells “absolutely true” stories. She has a cat named Catman who gets consumed by a cow. He follows the cow around because he likes what she does and is “consumed” by his love for her.

Now here is a different story she told. Gooney  Bird and Catman went on a “flying carpet” ride. Gooney Bird, her mom, dad, and Catman were in the car. Catman went inside the carpet and Gooney Bird went after him to get him out. The carpet “flew” out of the car. News reporters came to talk to Gooney Bird about her “flying carpet”ride.  

...So they all hugged and kissed.
