Highly recommended!

Review by Mila

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to get a good laugh. Yehudi tries to do sports, but keeps getting injured. Chunky is his imaginary friend and fan. When Yehudi tries to fit in with new friends, he hurts Chunky's feelings. I learned that we should do the things we are good at that make us feel good, and not pretend to be someone we are not. That's how we keep our fans rooting for us.

Not very good

Review by VivaDiva1

I think that this book is not good because it shows very violent pictures, and it is a rumor that jews are bad at sports and he IS, and it does not show much connection to Judaism other than a few pages of his sister having a Bat-mitzvah.
