Booklist - 07/01/2016 With this upbeat I Can Read! book, the überpopular My Weird School series makes a leap from the chapter-book shelves to the beginning-reader section. A. J. worries when his teacher announces a class talent show for the next day. That evening, he lists his “talents” (dirt-bike tricks, peewee football, video games, nose picking) and concludes that not one is school-appropriate. In the show, he nervously stands before the class and begins a confessional ramble about being untalented. Bemused when his classmates and teacher start laughing, he continues his deadpan spiel until they’re in hysterics. In the end, his teacher compliments him on his talent: stand-up comedy. Zany humor is Gutman’s strong suit, and Paillot’s colorful digital illustrations amplify the fun. - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
