What We're Reading: Laurie


Roscoe Riley Rules #5: Don't tap-dance on your teacher by Katherine Applegate.

Roscoe Riley is a boy who loves to have fun and loves things that make loud noises. In fact, he has a collection of items that make loud noises and he brings them in for show- and- tell whenever he can. When Roscoe's best friend Emma brings her tap shoes to school he decides to take tap lessons because he can make a lot of noise with his feet. Roscoe gets teased by many boys at school for taking tap lessons, and goes to great lengths to get out of dancing with Emma at the school talent show. Roscoe is a very funny character and gets himself into a lot of sticky situations. Younger readers will really enjoy getting to know Roscoe and all of his rules.
