My favorite part is when the narrator sees the strange man sucking words out of a book with a straw! It was my favorite part because in real life I have never seen anyone sucking words out of a book. This boy reminds me of my cousin because he hated books too. As I read the book I felt mad because I like books!
I recommend this book because it is full of funny adventures. There is also a sequel to this book called A Straw for Two. People who like slurping books should read both of them!
