{My Thoughts} – In this last book Roscoe ends up in time out for not being honest to his sister and his parents. It’s about a pumpkin weight guessing contest at the local book store. While they are there his sister finds a kitten. His sister really wants the kitten but he tells her he overheard someone saying the kitten already had a home and of coarse that wasn’t the truth and he ended up getting into trouble.
This is the last book in the series as far as I know. I really enjoyed reading them, they are short beginner readers that are fairly entertaining to younger children. They are mostly geared towards boys and remind me of the Junie B. Jones series that is geared towards girls in the same age group.
I highly recommend this book for any child that is having a difficult time engaging in the book world. It has a nice lesson about following the rules and it has humor, which makes for a nice read.

Very cute series! My son loved it and couldn't wait to read another one! (And he hates reading so this is awesome).

In this final Roscoe Riley book to date, Neo and I undertook quite the adventure. Learning about estimating, superstitions, and the troubles that Roscoe can create for himself, we were highly entertaining and enthralled at the same time. When Roscoe learns that there is a contest taking place at the local bookshop, he is convinced he must participate. There’s a giant pumpkin there, whose weight is the subject of a guessing game. While the winner gets a large number of books donated to the school library, it’s the large pile of candy that has Roscoe wanting to be declared guessing champion. When Roscoe makes his way to the shop, he discovers something terrifying, a black kitten lives there. Worried about all he knows about black cats, Roscoe vows not to stay, as his bad luck could grow exponentially. While adults try to dismiss this talk of luck, Roscoe is convinced that it might play a part. When the day of the contest winner comes, Roscoe is ready to win, though all the luck in the world could not protect him from the series of events that eventually land him in time-out yet again! Neo and I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and will keep an eye out for other books. I would not have found them had my friend, Misty, not recommended them. Neo and I offer her a large THANKS! Just goes to show that recommendations are the key to finding new and awesome books!
