Description

In this installment of the Judy Moody series, Judy gets interested in medicine after a field trip to the hospital. She begins diagnosing her classmates with rare diseases and even practices surgery (on stuffed animals) in her backyard operating theatre. Judy gets a taste of her own medicine in a hilarious new episode sure to tickle your humerus (aka funny bone) and put you in a very Judy Moody mood! She took her own temperature with a fancy thermometer that beeped, showing abnormal readings suggesting she has the temperature of an outer-space alien. Judy Moody is in a medical mood, inspired by Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor. As her class begins studying the Amazing Human Body, Judy eagerly anticipates her third-grade show-and-tell, planning to present a real-live operation and a cloning experiment that could create double trouble for Judy and her friends.
