This book is ridiculously silly. It tells the story of a school that was built 30 rooms tall instead of 30 rooms across. Each chapter is the story of a different person in the classroom on the 30th floor. Children will enjoy hearing stories of the horribly mean Mrs. Gorf, Louis the recess monitor and all of the different and quirky students in the class. Intermediate aged students will enjoy the humor in this book more than primary aged students. It is perfect for a quick end the day read aloud because chapters are relatively short and tell the story of one person.
Check it out and let me know what your class thought of the stories. Can events that happen in your classroom top the stories from Wayside School? I bet not!
Happy Reading!
