Mr. Macky is a great book. It's about 100 pages, perfect for a two day read! All of the series is quite humorous, and will give you a good laugh! Mr. Macky is making the students of the Ella Mentry school, dress up like a president! A.J., the main boy, dresses up like Ben Franklin! He gets mad when his teacher tells him that Ben was not a president!

My 7 year old son is a reluctant (yet very strong)reader and LOVES this series. He gets bored with some of the other series. He finished this one very quickly and thinks it was hilarious. I'm surprised by the lower ratings. These books are great.

All these books are perfect for getting kids to take up reading, I buy them by the bunch and they get read inmediately.

My seven year old reader and I found this book to contain many negative attitudes and we would not recommend this book. The character makes negative comments about classmates, teachers and grownups freely.

A.J. hates school and when he grows up, he's going to be President so he can outlaw school for everyone! President's Day is coming up, so the teachers at A.J.'s school want the students to elect a school president and do oral reports about United States presidents. All A.J. wants is the day off from school and maybe a big screen TV! This is a weird school though, so elections and reports are not as boring as they sound-on Crazy Pets Day, a ferret runs for school president against the teachers! Mr. Macky, the wacky reading specialist, dresses up as all of the presidents to help the kids learn quirky facts, like how FDR's mom made him wear a dress until he was five years old or who was the shortest president. This fun story sneaks in other information too, such as how a democracy works and which famous Americans are on our money. The comic illustrations help the reader get an idea of how A.J.'s mind works. Filled with goofy humor, this fifteenth title in the "My Weird School" series will attract the most reluctant reader.
