All the kids at Wayside had to spend 243 days at horrible schools while Wayside was closed to get rid of an infestation of cows! Now they're back and the fun begins on every floor. Miss Mush has prepared liver in purple sauce, and it is pet day on the 30th floor and there is a substitute teacher.

Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger

Another excellent installment in this series. Wayside School is reopening more than 200 days after it closed for repairs and things are as zesty, zappy and zany as ever. It starts with the return of the students on the 30th floor--not one of whom was sent to the same school during renovations--along with their teacher, Mrs. Jewls, and of course Louis is still the yard teacher; he didn't go anywhere during that time. I am very pleased to see that a fourth book in this series came out a few years ago after my kids grew up and I'm planning to read it as well.

Hooray! Wayside School is Open Again! All the kids from Wayside School had to spend 243 days in horrible schools while Wayside closed to get rid of the cows (Don't ask!). Now the kids are back and the fun begins again on every floor. Miss Much has prepared a Day on the 30th floor--with dogs and cats and frogs and skunks and pigs, and an orange named Fido causing a terrible commotion. In Mrs. Drazil's class, they're throwing a coffeepot, a sack of potatoes, a pencil sharpener, and a light bulb out the window to see which hits the ground first. But the big surprise is that Mrs. Jewls is expecting a baby--but one named Cootie Face or Bucket Head--and a substitute teacher is coming--and everyone knows what that means... Something strange is going on at the already peculiar Way side School, when Mrs. Jewls leaves her students with a succession of substitute teachers. "Wayside School devotes [will] turn pages eagerly...these additional anecdote about wayside school will surely tickle the funny bones of fans"-School Library Journal

Reread. 

I'm having fun rereading these books from my elementary school days. Fun to relive the crazy and strangeness of Wayside School.

All the kids from Wayside School had to spend 243 days in horrible schools while Wayside was closed to get rid of the infestation of cows! Now the kids are back and the fun begins again on every floor. Miss Mush has prepared a special lunch of baked liver in purple sauce and it is pet day on the 30th floor. There are dogs and cats and frogs and skunks and an orange named Fido, causing a terrible commotion. But the biggest surprise of all is that Mrs Jewls is expecting a baby and a substitute teacher is coming, and everyone knows what that means . . . Wayside School is going to get a little stranger.
