Judy Moody, M.D.: The Doctor Is In! (Judy Moody Series #5)

by Megan McDonald Narrated by Barbara Rosenblat

Overview

She took her own temperature. With the fancy thermometer that beeped. It was not normal. It was not 98.6. Judy's temperature was 188.8! Judy's temperature was 00.0! Judy's temperature was beep-beep-beep-beep-beep. She, Judy Moody, had the temperature of an outer-space alien!

Judy Moody has a mood for every occasion, and now, she, Judy Moody, is in a medical mood! It's no secret that Judy wants to be like Elizabeth Blackwell, first woman doctor, when she grows up. So when Class 3T starts to study the Amazing Human Body, Judy can hardly wait to begin her better-than-best-ever third-grade projects: show-and-tell with something way rarer than a scab, a real-live ooey-gooey operation, and a cloning experiment that may create double trouble for Judy and her friends. RARE!

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

[McDonald] finds ample comedy in the way children mishear words and mangle information [and] Reynolds' buoyant sketches depict Judy's ups and downs in this fifth book of a series that proves laughter can be contagious.
—Booklist

Brings back the irrepressible heroine as her class studies the human body.
—Publishers Weekly

The author's humor and language are right on target. . . . As always, there are facts to be learned and loads of puns and playful language to entertain readers. This is another winner.
—School Library Journal

OCT/NOV 05 - AudioFile

Get ready to bone up on the human body along with third-grader Judy Moody and her class. As Mr. Todd takes the class through their paces, Judy has run-ins with Jessica Finch, opportunities to outwit her brother, Stink, and moments that capture both her naïveté and self-confidence. McDonald outdoes herself with a myriad of skeleton jokes and medical word play to delight the young listener. Kate Forbes’s narration radiates Judy’s personality. Forbes gives just the right intonation for various classmates and plays with words in fine juvenile fashion. One knows that Forbes is laughing, despairing, or cheering at Judy’s "medical" presentation and stay-at-home tonsillitis. A.R. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

PLIP! Judy Moody woke up. Drip, drip, drip went rain on the roof. Blip, blip, blip went drops on the window. Not again! It had been raining for seven days straight.
