Louis does it again! Our favorite characters are up to their "strange" ways. I love that each novel ends a way that makes a connection to the previous books. ( )

As with the other books in this series, this collection of stories about the kids at Wayside School is highly amusing. I enjoyed re-reading it. However, unlike the first two books, this one reads a lot more like different chapters in one main story, instead of individual stories that make up a book. There's a lot more continuity between stories than in book one, especially. If you prefer that kind of book, you will appreciate this. Personally, I missed the separation between stories a bit; it changed the feel of the book, to me. ( )

Im only writing a review for the third book in this series because to be honest they sorta melt together in my brain and also I like this one the best...so anyway I love these books they are amazing. I read them and listened to them via audiobook when I was a kid and loved them and are still very entertaining reading them as an adult. These were some of the books that really got me to read for fun. The stories are creative and funny and surprisingly nuanced and I definitely recommend these books. ( )

I love how these books hold up and how they stay true to themselves -- despite being written decades apart. They capture the way school is its own complete world, how it works in strange ways that as a child you accept, how its people are larger than life. ( )

Third book in the series. The school is back open and ready for new silly stories. Great way to end the year ( )

Genre:
Cont. Real. Fiction

Summary:
This book is finally reopening after a cow incident and the 19th floors teacher is having a baby and they need a substitute. This is an example of what not to do with a substitute. I could also use this to teach about cause and effect.

Wayside will certainly appeal to the target audience, and adults will enjoy the crazy humor as well. Sensitive children or ones who don't have a grasp of irony should stay away from it. ( )

Aww, yay! Since we already know the kids and the teacher, this book adds in new characters - and it's great fun. And just as ridiculous as the others. ( )

Not as strong as the others--he's really running on fumes here--but there were still some really great moments. Jokes that are set up early on and take 80 pages for the payoff--that's the kind of book this is. 4 stars because it made me laugh anyway, but it's not the best of the series. ( )

The wayside school stories are great transition books for children who struggle with reading. This series is a fun exciting read for children who do not like to read.

All these stories are very silly and easy for kids to read. I think readers can't wait to turn the pages to see what happens next, especially if they are familiar with the other Wayside Stories books. The author is very creative and wacky, using humor and silliness to draw the reader in and develop their imaginations. Some students might be able to relate to this book since it's in a school setting. It's a very fun book!

This book picks up where Wayside School is Falling Down left off. It has all the humor of the series, and, in this book, the teachers get a little stranger as Mrs. Jewls (who was strange enough to begin with) heads off to have a baby. Wayside is just as funny as ever when the kids all come back to their strange school, series of subs, and principal, Mr. Kidswatter. ( )

I was introduced to Wayside School stories in the 4th grade by Mrs. Avery, aka the coolest teacher ever. I have tried to share them with every child I know since. ( )
