Sharon looked for many ways to make 50 cents, it would be cute if Andrew and Nicky could each charge her 50 cents for a recipe for something that she wants. I am going to read it to my class next year. I believe second grade students will enjoy this book. Kelly did a good job of telling and showing the two boys that the way they are made is perfect for them. The irony of the story was when it was found that Nicky didn't like his freckles and he wanted to remove them. Isn't it funny that others can appreciate the beauty of what we have and sometimes we can't? Andrew thought Nicky's freckles were beautiful and he wanted some just the same. I didn't go to the extreme that Andrew went. I would pray every night that God would give me long hair and freckles! It reminded me of a time when I wanted freckles as a child and hair passed my behind. I think we may have used kiwi in our recipe because of the little black seeds.įreckle Juice was such a cute book. We created our own recipe for freckle juice as part of the report. While reading this story, I recalled that my daughter had read it in elementary school. Miss Kelly is able to diplomatically affirm the self-confidence of both boys in their individual appearances. When Andrew returns to class with no freckles, Nicky now wants the Freckle Remover recipe. His patient teacher, Miss Kelly, offers him her secret recipe for Freckle Remover. When freckles do not appear, Andrew draws them on his face with a blue magic marker. Most of us get upset stomachs, too, when we realize we have fallen victim to a financial scheme.

After mixing it up and drinking it very quickly, Andrew suffers from an upset stomach. She claims that her family does not have freckles because they have the recipe which is a mixture of common ingredients most people have in their kitchens. Sharon offers to sell Andrew a secret recipe for fifty cents that will cause him to develop freckles. This desire leaves him gullible to Sharon, another classmate, who after observing Andrew ask Nicky how he got his freckles, decides to capitalize financially upon the situation. It wasn’t in Andrew’s genetic make-up to have freckles, but he had come to greatly admire them on classmate Nicky Lane’s neck as he daydreamed about how they would make his own life so much easier if he had them on his neck, too. First of all, human beings always seem to desire what we can’t have. Judy Blume exposes several fallacies of the human race in her story for second graders, Freckle Juice.
