"Second book for Oggie Cooder, though not as creative as the first one. Oggie is a sweet character and so likable. In this book he's off to the birthday party of Donnica, the super popular mean girl. He has to memorize 100 rules in order for him to attend." — Joenna (4 out of 5 stars)

" 3rd&up. Cute story of a goofy, strange, but charming underdog who stumbles in and out of social suicide with aplomb. You can't help rooting for this clueless character! "
" Oggie is likably weird, & you cheer for him when things work out to his advantage. "
" He's way too nice to Donnica. "
" loved the book!!!! things can get messy though!!!!!!!!! "
" Oggie is great at being himself. The story is funny... a good story to read aloud and share. "
" Bedtime read for my kiddos ages 6, 8 & 10. I like to find books that can keep them all three interested. They enjoy Oggie. The is the second Oggie book we have read together. It's nice when a chapter book has illustrations included for my 6 and even my 8 year old. "
" I give this book 4 stars because I read the first one in like 4th grade and I just finished reading it again and I wondered if there was a second one and there was and it was a really good book, weird but good. "
" Cute, super quick read, kinda quirky. Reminds me of my insane childhood love of processed cheese. So glad I moved on to real cheddar. "
" Fun middle grade read. Loved how Oggie's fourth grade teacher recognized him for what he truly is. Good lesson for me. "
" Sweet story with very unique characters! Great tale of staying true to oneself and that winning is not everything. Lovely read for the elementary school crowd. "
" 4th grade--Quirky Oggie is shunned by most of the kids until he wins a spot on a TV show for his talent of charving: chewing pieces of cheese into the shape of different states. IN the process Oggie learns the importance of being himself--especially when his own dog doesn't recognize him. "
" I just finished reading this one to the kiddos. We all liked it. I love when I tell them we are going to read just one chapter and at the end of that chapter they beg me to read one more. :-) "
" Oggie is a lovable kid that you can't help routing for. "
" The characters are extremely quirky, but the story itself gives a valuable lesson in knowing & liking who you really are. "
" I really enjoyed this book. It was funny and still was able to show different social groups in the school with humor and thought. Both boys and girls in 1st grade and up would enjoy. "
" Great kids book with a good message-it is okay to be who you are, no matter how quirky! Fun main character. "
" Addy in fourth grade read it in a day and said it was really funny. "
" I don't like to eat cheese, but I devoured this book about a boy with an unusual talent--charving (carving cheese slices with your teeth). "
" it was boring caause it was a 2nd grade book. "
" Oggie Cooder is the best book I've ever read and it has good illustrations. I love Oggie Cooder. It was about charving, hidden talents and Donnica wanting to go to Hollywood. "
" Great book about a boy who walks to the beat of a different drum. Love the tie-in to 5th grade state research with Oggie being able to chew cheese slices into the shape of state. "
