This is a wonderfully imaginative book filled with lively characters and surprising events. I've read it to my class and they've asked for it again and again. Even more importantly, it has stimulated and improved their writing skills and inspired them to try their own version of this story. A great help in the classroom, and, a lot of fun!

A fun romp full of wonderful characters, plus helpful tidbits to improve children's writing. A multicultural and intergenerational story in an urban setting, in which the soap opera star Saundra Saunderson and the fish store owner Mr. Chang come together with many other colorful neighbors to create a community on 90th Street. Eva, the child writer, records and participates in all the action and finally comes up with an extraordinary topic for her school assignment. A funny, great and useful tale to teach and read, whether you live on 90th Street, in the suburbs, or in the country.

The subject matter of this book is something that is of tremendous use in an elementary classroom. However, the text is choppy, and the subject hard to follow from one idea to the next. Even the illustrations fail to provide a common thread woven throughout the book. The collage style pictures are beautiful to look at, but confusing to tie together, especially when paired with the choppy text.

As Eva records in her writer's notebook she believes she has nothing to write about. Her colorful neighbors, however, prove this to be quite far from the truth. Each rich character offers sound writing strategies that Eva applies to her writing. A lonely retired actor encourages her to look for the details all around. The prima ballerina who never smiles invites Eva to stretch her imagination. Mrs. Martinez advises Eva to add spice to her writing as she does to her Mexican soup. Mr. Morley suggests she ask herself, " What if?" All the events add up to a story that Eva has recorded for all to enjoy. An additional benefit is the new business created as a result of hilarious circumstances. Writing teachers will return to this delightful story again and again to encourage children to try the same stratgies in their own writing.

I loved this book! It was so much fun! A chain of comical events occurs on 90th Street, where "Nothing ever happens." Eva has to write something for school and has no ideas. But then, all of a sudden, things begin to happen. A pizza peddler is hit by a limo, the pizza man and a dancer fall in love, and a cat stuck in a tree. But there's more, some of it real, and some of it maybe imagined by Eva. The neighbors chime in with writing tips, like Mr. Morley, a mousse maker, who says, "Don't forget the poetry in your pudding." The illustrator uses zany collages that are great! It's fun to look closely at them and see all the amazing things she used to make the pictures. I just love this book! It's one of my favorites!
