Summary: If you are a fan of SpongeBob like myself, then this is a great grocery book that can be found in many grocery book. This book is based on the first season when SpongeBob gets the suds. SpongeBob wakes up in the morning only to find out that he has the suds. He tries to cover up the fact that he is sick, so he does not have to miss a day of work. When SpongeBob gets to the Krusty Krab, he sneezes on the food until Mr. Krabs finds out and orders SpongeBob to go home and rest. At home, SpongeBob’s suds gets worse, so he calls Sandy to take him to the doctor. While SpongeBob is waiting for Sandy to pick him up, his best friend Patrick comes along and ask SpongeBob if he is going Skiing. SpongeBob tells Patrick that he is going to the doctor instead. Patrick then tells SpongeBob all the bad things that the doctor is going to do until SpongeBob pleaded to Patrick to look after him. Patrick then proceeded to try to cure for SpongeBob by putting corks in his holes, making SpongeBob bigger and fatter every time he sneezes. SpongeBob thinks he is getting better, so he has Patrick call Sandy and tell her not to come over anymore, but Sandy does not believe Patrick and tells him that he is coming over. Patrick then goes into a panic and tells SpongeBob that Sandy will take him to the doctor. After time, Sandy comes to find out that SpongeBob is not really cured and yells at Patrick to go see a real doctor. Sandy rolls SpongeBob outside until SpongeBob rolls too far and blows up the crusty Krab with a sneeze. After SpongeBob was back to his normal size, Sandy and Patrick took him to the doctor where he is then diagnosed with medicine.

Personal Statement:  As a fan of SpongeBob, I enjoyed this book because I found the book relatable. The book has great illustrations and follows an appropriate beginning, middle and end sequence. Of course, I would not keep this book in my classroom library, but this would definitely be a perfect book to read to your child as a bedtime story!

  1. Just looking at the cover of this book brought a smile to my face. Who doesn't love Sponge Bob? It is definitely a grocery store book, but given the unabashed humor of the character makes it somewhat more endearing than other grocery store books. Good find!
