This review is from: Gremlins Don't Chew Bubble Gum (The Bailey School Kids, Book 13) (Paperback)

What's up with the hair? That's Melody's question when she first meets Miss Kidwell. Miss Kidwell has come to Bailey School and is causing total chaos. First the lights, then the school bell. What next, the FATS building? After Miss Kidwell has caused Eddie's plane to attack, Melody's watch to stop working and the school bus horn to play the tune Rain, Rain, Go Away , the four friends must stop Miss Kidwell from distroying the town of Bailey. But how? Their fearless nerve keeps the friends from giving up on eliminating the Gremlin. Dadey and Thornton team up to once again provide us with another zainy title in their collection of Bailey School Kids books. The series helps to motivate some chlidren to pick up a book by captivating them with the idea that maybe the folks in the school office, the janitor, the teachers or even the school nurse are not who they seem to be. The text and organization of the chapters flow well. Chapter titles help us gain foresight into what is to come. Students in the suggested age range should find it a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reading specialist uses the complete set of these readers, February 17, 2005

This review is from: Gremlins Don't Chew Bubble Gum (The Bailey School Kids, Book 13) (Paperback)

I am a children's reading specialist and author (Teaching Kids To Read for Dummies). I use these short chapter books with kids who have mastered three or four sentences per page type books and are ready for more. When your child reads one book in the Bailey School Kids series you can be pretty sure she'll want to read the rest.
