After a terrible dust storm came, a mysterious lady comes to Bailey City like a martian!. Howie and Eddie and Melody believe Nurse Redding is a martian while Liza disagrees!

I have picked out this book because I think this book is the best book I have read this quater. The book is called Martians Don't Take Temperature. It is about four friends named Liza,Melody Howie and Eddie. Howie thinks that the new school nurse is a martian, but liza didn't believe in him. They have been noticing the school nurse use different words to take tempreatures. I choose this book as my favorite book because it reminds me of me and my four friends. We used to hang out together.I would like to recommend this book to the people who like to have fun.

My name is Timmy I read Martians Don't Take Temperatures. I like the part when Howie said, "We better get inside before Liza sneezes her head off." And I like the part when Eddie said "Cool. I wonder if Liza's head would bounce."

Strange occurences are becoming pretty, well... NORMAL at Bailey Elementary School. This time a huge dust storm blows into town, and suddenly appearing at the school is a squat, greenish-haired woman who's come to be the new nurse.

For someone who has gone to nursing school, though, she certainly doesn't seem to know much about health: first off, she seems to have forgotten that kids need to drink water!! Secondly, she has a very strange eye chart with symbols that don't resemble English letters at ALL!! Besides, what do all those weird words she says all the time really mean? You don't suppose she could be a MARTIAN, do you??

This book marks the 18th in the popular Bailey School Kids series. Each book introduces some strange sort of person who could (or maybe, could NOT) be a supernatural creature. It's a fast paced series with the gang typically throwing insults at each other, "we'd better go in before Liza sneezes her head off". Many books in the series are creepy, some are fun and silly. "Martians Don't..." lies somewhere in between. The characters are silly, but if there really IS a martian coming down to earth to invade the planet, wouldn't you be a bit wigged out??

A good choice for an intermediate reader, these books are well illustrated and the text is large and easy to read. An advanced reader (like an adult) can get through one in about 45 minutes or less, making them good choices for storytimes. Many of the books can be applied to different holidays or seasons ("Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors" or "Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers", for instance).

It's a fun series even for older students and children (I've read about 30 of them, most of which I've not even used in class!!) and definitely worth checking out.

It starts off a new martian comes in and she is the school nurse and they are trying to find out if she is a martian. Eddie the crazy one always trys to get in trouble.

I almost red the whole bailey kids series. All the books are cool !! I like this one just as I like the other 30(About, not exacly). They were all cool. I dont want to tell you what it is about but you should read it. If you like it I suggest you read the other 40 books.

PS YOU MUST JUST MUST BUY IT !!!!!

This is one of the best Bailey School Kid's book's that I have read and I have read a lot of them. It was fun to read. I checked it out at the library and wanted to buy my own copy. I did!
