 The Screaming Mean Machine October 8, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful book for K-4th grade students. It is an excellent example of a personal narrative and is therefore good to read aloud to children when teaching writing. It is filled with descriptive words, sensory details, and similes. The young girl riding The Screaming Mean Machine (roller coaster) is filled with anticipation, fear, and excitement. You feel as though you are with her on this ride. Youngsters are enthralled as they go along on this journey.

This book is targeted towards young children, it is an early reader book. As a mother of 2 young children, I found it very offensive. The author uses the word "freak" and "freaking" several times in the book. As I grew up, this word was a substitute for a word that is certainly NOT appropriate for children, never mind preschoolers who like to repeat every new word they hear. I would certainly NOT recommend this book to anyone.
