Book Reviews of My Weird School #1: Miss Daisy Is Crazy!
Book Review: Whatever keps them reading!
Summary: 5 Stars
My seven year old daughter, who is in 1st grade, is a pretty strong reader. She enjoys reading, but mostly books with lots of pictures. She was given a gift certificate to another bookstore besides Amazon (the nerve!) and I finally took her there this week to "cash in". At first I couldn't get over the retail prices for paperback books, especially kid ones! I finally got over it, as I wasn't the one paying. She chose this book, but it was slightly different as it's called "Miss Daisy is Crazy! and Other Stories". I believe it is the first three books combined into one paperback book.
When my daughter started to read this book I kept getting reports yelled out loud to me, "Mom, this book is really fun to read!", and "Mom, I'm on page 37", etc. I have never seen her enjoy a chapter book this much, ever. She took it when we went out on errands and was trying to read it as she walked. I told her this is not socially acceptable, but not until she almost walked off with the wrong person did she take this with any seriousness.
This book doesn't have a lot of pictures, but it does have some illustrations here and there. The font size is the right size for this level of reader, so it isn't intimidating as one cracks open the book to take a look.
In this age group there are several silly choices for book series, this one isn't any worse than any of those. My older daughter loved Junie B. Jones at this age, and that character is really silly. I don't mind the content much, as long as my kids are reading and want to keep reading. My older daughter still loves reading the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and she's in 4th grade. I am not as crazy about that choice at her age, but she does read other stuff besides that, so I'm okay with it.
I think that if your child is not quite interested in chapter books yet, this might push them over the edge to enjoy them. Since my daughter found a series that she really likes, I'm sticking with it!
Summary of My Weird School #1: Miss Daisy Is Crazy!
Never before has school been this mixed up?or this much fun!
Miss Daisy, who teaches second grade, doesn't know how to add or subtract. Not only that, she doesn't know how to read or write, either. She is the dumbest teacher in the history of the world!
