Summary: Dogs Don't tell Jokes
Comment: One of the best books that I read this year would be Dogs Don't tell Jokes by Louis Sachar. This book was my favorite because it had a lot of different types of conflict. One is when Gary first found out about the talent show. He was having a really hard time to find out who he could sign up with. Then he just kept asking the kids at his school if they knew how to sign up. Then he finally comes to this girl named Brenda and she said, that he could sign up with his teacher. Finally he goes to his teacher and said to put his name on the list for the talent show. She said that he was the first one to sign up. That is just one of the reasons why this book is my favorite. Another reasons why this book is my favorite is when his parents told him that they would give him one hundred dollars if he would stop telling his jokes. He had to stop telling them until the talent show which was four weeks away. They said, that they were getting tired of hearing the same jokes over and over. They also said, that if he keeps telling them that people would have already heard them and they wouldn't won't to hear them again. His dad told him that today he repeated one of his jokes to one of customers. Gary said, that he would do it. he wouldn't won't say any more until the talent show. Then my favorite one is when he's at the talent
Show. When he comes out, he had a suit and a hat that was tight on his head. He had this thing that made his hair look like he had shaved it. then in one part of his act he wrapped a bath towel around him. He said, that the soap that he used is what made him bold. Then he starts off telling more of his jokes. He still has on the bath towel. Then he would start talking about the soap again. Then he would start talking about something else. He would just keep going back and fourth from one thing to another. He would never finish one of his jokes. That is why I think that you should read the book to find out the rest.

Dogs Don't Tell Jokes By Louis Sachar
This story is about a boy named Gary W, Boone. He wants to be a famous comedian. He always daydreams about being on a late-night TV show. When he tells a joke to kids in his class they all give him funny looks and call him a dork and all other mean names. They also laugh at him because they think the joke is so dorky. When Gary hears them laugh he think that they are laughing at the joke but they really are laughing at him.
The most interesting thing about this book is when the school talent show comes up.
Gary of course wants to be in the talent show and do jokes. He says that that will get him in
to the comedian stage. He tries everything he can and he goes through alot of stuff. One of the thangs he goes through is him finding out that people don't like his jokes. When he has to practice his jokes. He tries to make the jokes up but sometimes he doesn;t know what the joke should be. When he says the jokes to him self and they do not sound funny. After a while he gets tired of trying to make up jokes so he disides to change his whole idea and goes to a normal kid. He tries to hang out with other kids and not do the jokes anymore. Then he diside that no one else would really pay attention to him and that he really liked telling jokes.So he goes back to teling jokes.
People I think would like this book is kids who like to read life books about people's life.Also if you like funny stories!So I think that 4th or 5th graders would like it.If older kids like books like that or like kinda in the middle sized of stories might like it to.
Between the rating sacale of 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. I would give it a 9. Not that it is bad book it is a great book!!!
