Mason and Nick Little 3rd graders rated this book five stars because of the good sarcasm in it. For teachers it means good vocabulary words for students and it means fun for kids! This whole story begins with a simple narrative story (true and real.) Peter and his Grandapa Jack fight over who's room is who's. There are lots of funny or mean tricks that are played in this book. You've got to read this book! There's your critique from third graders at Everett School.

I think The War With Grandpa is a wonderful book. It’s about a boy named Peter who’s Grandpa has to come and live with him. Peter really loves his Grandpa, but the only problem is Grandpa takes Peter’s room! Now Peter has to go to war with Grandpa. They play the most funny tricks on each other. It is a great book and to find out what the best trick is, you have to read The War With Grandpa! I give this book four stars.

The War with Grandpa kind of goes like this.Grandpa moves to Peter's house.Dad and mom told Grandpa to just move all his things into Peter's room.Peter said that he did not want that to happen,but it did.Peter was mad and said it was going to be war.Peter took Grandpa's slippers.Grandpa did some harsh stuff, too.Grandpa and Peter went fishing.So now I'm not going to tell you the end.Read it if you want to know the ending!!

We had some mixed feelings. Some thought it was a fascinating story, but some thought is wasn't dramatic enough. We were disappointed that a few of the pictures were portraying the story incorrectly. The favorite scene was Grandpa's last prank and Peter's retaliation.

This was a very interesting book. Pete throws a fit about Grandpa having to take his room and this leads to a WAR! Pete and Grandpa square-off against each other.

You should read this because it is very funny when they go back and forth with each other taking each other's things.

At the end of the story a lesson is learned that you should talk things out before they get out of hand!

GRANPA.Peters granpa came to live with Peter,but the
bad paet was that granpa took Pete's room!Peter had
no choice but to start a war.My least favorite part is that

back?Read the book and find out.

The War With Grandpa is wonderful.I liked the book because Peter just found out that Grandpa was moving in with his family.Peter heard that he had to move out of his bedroom.Second I like it because they having a war.It was cool and it was funny,too.When Peter does his last attack it is so funny. The cool part is when Peter forgets his lunch.If I tell you any more you won`t love it.It was a great book.

I would recomend this book to someone because of the way it tells about how Peter has a family war with his Grandpa. Now they don`t really have a war with bombs and stuff. But I can not tell you all about the book . You will have to read the book yourself
to find out the surprize ending yourself.If I could tell you the ending I would .But then it would give it away.That would spoil it for you.

The War With Grandpa is a very interesting book. It has a lot of character in it and a lot of hilarious parts. The two main characters are Peter and Grandpa Jack. The story was wrote because Peter had a asighnment from his teacher to write a true and real story. Read the book to find out wwhat grade Peter in in, what tricks were played, and why I rated this book 5 stars.

Something weird is going on at Peters house .Peters grandpa is moving in. Peter does not like that at all. He thinkes Grandpa is taking his room. I do not want to tell you all of it. So read this book and you will like it.Trust me.

My favorite part was when Peter steals Grandpa's false teeth. I liked that part because it would be very funny. My least favorite part is when Peter refused to burn Grandpa's underwear. If I was Peter it would have been the first thing I would have done to him. I thought that the whole book was very boring. I almost fell asleep!! That is why I rated the book as 1 star.

My favorite part in the book is when Grandpa took all of Peter's stuff and made him late for school.

This book is really good and you should read it and see if you like it as much as I liked it. If you like laughting this is the book for you.

Christian.I think this book is very exellent because it is humourus and sneaky.It is humourus because Peter does not just do ordinary tricks but humourus tricks and sneaky tricks too.One trick Peter does is he steels his Grandpas wristwatch.One more thing if you think I am giving away the ending I am not.Soyou will just have to read the book.

Alex.My favorite part is when Jeney told Peter that Grandpa was moving in to their house because they think about everything hes going to do and still don't know where hes going to sleep or wonder what it is going to be like.My least favorite part is when Jeney almost finds out because the action will stop and they will both get in trouble.

This book is fun to read because the chapters are short and the author explains what the hard words mean. This makes the book fun and easy to read. The book seems real when you read it like it could be happening to one of your own friends. The author makes you think about what would happen if you were at war with your own grandpa.
