Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3-- Horrible Harry is back, and he's in love. In this sixth delightful adventure, the children of Room 2B become deeply engrossed in making plans for a wedding. Harry loves playing kickball so much that his classmates think he should marry the ball. But Harry has other plans. He proposes to Song Lee and suggests that they tie the knot on Valentine's Day. At first, she says that seven and a half is much too young to get married, but then tells Harry that if her mother gives her permission, she will go ahead with the plan. Woven into the preparation for the pretend wedding is Harry's attempt to help his friend Sidney come to terms with his mother's upcoming marriage. The outcome is delightful, and once again Harry displays his comic style while sharing his thoughts and feelings. The characters are real, and the story is fresh. --Cindy Backes, St. Teresa School, Pittsburgh, PA

What I mostly liked about it was it is funny. This book is about Harry and Songlee getting married on Valentine's Day. Of course you do know that they really don't get married. They called it the kick ball wedding and that's the title of this book. The funniest part, I think, is at the end of the book Horrible Harry at recess didn't finish the wedding because they went and played kick ball; they finished the wedding when they were lining up to go back into the classroom. If they made a sequel to the book, I would think that they would probably sit close together if they got married.

I liked the book because it was interesting to read and I thought that when I was reading the book I curious to see what happened next. The book is the kind of book that you just want to keep reading and when you stop you say," I really want to read the rest of the book!" Before I read Horrible Harry and the kick ball wedding I really thought that it was inspired by the the book because it tells me in the beginning of the book it tells me don't be mean because there will usually comes revenge right after.

The story is so first grade. It captures the pathos of elementary school children. It is challenging enough for strong beginning readers.
