So Funny

I am an adult and I really enjoyed this book. It is basically a quirky book with a very short story for each of the students in one particular class, plus the two teachers. (The first teacher is mean and comes to a funny demise.) So there are thirty short stories.

It is silly humor. For example, the mean teacher turns the students into apples, a girl tries to sell her toes (unsuccessfully), a dead rat disguises itself as a student, and so on.

Warning: The humor is black humor, but hilarious. So you may want to pre-read this book to see if it is appropriate for your child. But despite being black humor, everything ends well and for the best, sort of like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Junie B. Jones. This is not a "sweet" book, but it is fun!

Wayside

This book has stories about kids and teachers at wayside school that are really strange. The school was built sideways. It was supposed to be one story high, with 30 classrooms in a row but the construction men built it 30 stories high and ONE classroom on each story but no 19th story. Mrs. Gorf is the meanest teacher with pointed ears and a long tongue. Mrs. Jewels had a nice face but all the children are afraid of nice faces. The students in Mrs. Jewel's class are also very strange. Joe has curly hair and he can't count. Sharie sleeps in class and wears a heavy coat in the summer. Bebe has short brown hair and loves art time there are 30 characters in this book including these three.
The setting of this story is a strange school with strange teachers and strange kids. The theme of the book is about wacky stories and different personalities. I think the author is saying life is funny and strange. My favorite character is stinky Sammy.
This book was the best book I ever read. It's really funny, wacky, and full of strange stories and sometimes weird. If your school is weird you will love these books.

Wayside school

I like the story because it was funny. I`m going to tell you about some of the characters ,Mrs.Gorf turned bad kids in to apples. Mrs.Jewls thought they were monkeys and my favorite part is the end when I found out Louis was telling the story.
