Our teacher read us Classroom at the End of the Hall by Douglas Evans which is the prequel to this book. I thought it was very funny, but Math Rashes is even funnier. The students in this book sound like students in my fifth-grade class. I like the Chatterbox, The Pencil Grinder and the Homework Gnome. All teachers should definately read this book their class!

I loved Classroom at The End of the Hall and I loved Math Rashes that includes more stories from W.T. Melon Elementary School. Each story is about a student with some classroom problem. Morgan chatters too much. Richard is a bully, while Mimi is always losing her pencils. In each story magic happens in the classroom to help the students solve their problems. All the magical solutions are very funny. Great for third--fifth grade students!

Our classroom is at the end of the hall and Miss Howard just read us Math Rashes which is a sequel to Classroom At the End of the Hall by Douglas Evans. We thought this book was even better than the first. Our class has a chatterbox and a pencil loser and a boy who complains a lot, and it was very funny reading about the "cures". These books are like the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books but more up-to-date. So if you want to read a funny book that's about your classroom order math Rashes, and Other Classroom Tales right now!

I recently read this book to my fourth grade class and they loved it. Each story in this book hit its mark in describing students--the pencil loser, the chatterbox, the complainer--found in every classroom.

Succeeding in school is a tough life, there is much to complain about and regret. There is homework and stern teachers that make you stay quiet and still and keep you from enjoying yourself. However, as the stories in this collection demonstrate, sometimes having your complaints answered is as bad as having a genuine Midas touch. Written at the level of the late elementary school student and full of situations that can generate giggles while also being serious, these are modern fables. They point out to young people that you must be careful what you wish for as if it is granted your next wish may be to undo the first one.

Book is outstanding for working with elementary students.
It arrived in perfect condition and in a timely manner.

These are good stories about the classroom at the end of the hall. I enjoyed the characters like the Homework Gnome and Dilly-Dally, the Doodles. It's easy to read and not preachy at all.

Hurrah for another Douglas Evans book about the Classroom at the End of the Hall! These stories are even better than the first. this was the best book I've read this year. My favorite story was The Homework Gnome because I hate homework like Hari. I also thought the Chatterbox was very funny.

My class and I were excited to find another book that takes place in the strange classroom at the end of the hall by Douglas Evans. His first book CLASSROOM AT THE END OF THE HALL was good, but this one is great. Especially Ti-2, the pencil grinder, who sells his pencil shavings to chefs in Pennsylvania.

I would like to recommend this book to any student in grades 3, 4, 5. I thought it was funny, original, and clever. Each chapter is about a student in the classroom at the end of the hall and each student has some problem that gets solved in the story. One girl hates spelling and a boy never follows directions. Their problems get solved in the funniest ways. It's also easy to read, but not too easy. I used to hate reading, but this book got me interested in reading some other funny books.
