Yes… both my mom and dad would read to me but the most vivid memory I have of a read-a-loud is of my 5th grade teacher reading the wayside schools series! She would do voices and made it so engaging… my classmates and I still talk about it! #sundayfunday @ozma.of.oz
A few days ago, kiddo encountered excerpts from this book in a grammar exercise. She asked if we could get it from the library because it sounded good. She got so excited that it was already on our shelves and started it immediately. We borrowed the next three from the library, too. Yesterday she finished the first, hugged it, and asked if she could put it on her own shelves (instead of our shared shelves) because she loved it SOO much! 😍 I melt.

Quirky, sometimes macabre, entertaining short story collection. Many of the stories were quite short which made this a good choice for Polly, Beatrix and I listen to in the car. Luke joined for a few and thought it truly bizarre.
Denise Williams is on my book podcast this week chatting with me about WAYSIDE SCHOOL IS FALLING DOWN and the whole thing is a total delight! Listen to hear conversations about everything from representation and Book Tok to bathroom humor and existential dread in kid lit. 🚌 Listen at the link in my bio!

This one does not disappoint either! Be sure to read books 1 and 2 first to understand all of the details.
It is interesting to see the differences between illustration from older books compared to newer books.

So I read the first book in this series to my students almost every year, but have never read the remaining books in the series until now. This one is just as good as the first.
This year I also discovered a youtube series based on the books, and now understand the cow references in the youtube series.

Book #1 done! I loved reading this series when I was a kid, and found that a new book came out in 202. I am working my way to reading up to this new one.
Overall this was just as enjoyable as the first book, and kept moving with various stories. My favorite was probably Mrs. Zarves or the three Erics chapters.
Every kids should read this series.
Reading my third Bridgerton book that I put on hold back in February when I decided to take the genre challenge and read romance. Meanwhile I'm finally reading Sideways with my son. He's a picky reader.
