This series is so funny. It is about 2nd grade children and their days at school. Each book is about a different teacher. My grandson is 8 and laughs about something in each chapter. I love the books as much as he does and I am a Grandmother. I would recommend this book and the other ones in the series to every child since the book's main character are both boys and girls so funny for both genders. GREAT SERIES - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We have read all 21 books in this series and they are all hilarious.

I chose this for a 2nd grade class to whom I have been reading once a week. I chose it because in the book the children are rising 3rd graders with Mr. Granite as teacher. It works both for girls including my grand-daughter, a class member, and boys. It's funny and about "aliens." It's also funny because it presents teachers and school in humorous situations, and the main student character doesn't like school, but ends up having fun.

I'm just thrilled that my son who is 8, is enjoying to read. He actually gets a kick out of reading the funny parts over to me. Mr Granite was one of his favorite...I guess because he winds up actually being from another planet (MY SON LOVES STAR WARS). If you have a 7 or 8 year old who hates reading then these books may be the answer you've been looking for. Yeah they may be a little easy but why does reading have to be hard. First get them hooked and this is good bait.

I think this is one of the better books in this series. The teacher is presented in a funny way and children really learn about being "green". I cringe at the name calling but this book has a lot less of that than some of the others. I recommend that you proofread before deciding to buy for your child.

Is Mr. Granite really from another planet? Well no, but the all the things he does make it seem like he is. He makes theses crazy inventions. All of his inventions are to power the school and even the other teachers are helping him. Here are some examples of his wacky inventions: Treadmills to power the school light's and Swings that make power every time you swing. Other teachers made a machine that turns your bottles into cans and turns your cans into bottles. This book helps you lean about being green and saving the planet.

After I read this book, I returned it. This sets a bad example; the main character is a "wise guy" and not a nice kid. I would not want my grandson to play with someone like him much less read a book in which he stars.

It's hilarious! It says funny things. A girl runs into a cow and, as usual, the teacher is crazy. I think all kids would like this book. I am just going into third grade and I love all these Weird School Books! I have read 8 of these books and they are so awesome!

My daughter, who was in 2nd grade, couldn't get into reading.
We found the series "Weird School" and she LOVED them. She read the
entire series. Now with this follow-up series "Weird School Daze" she
is thrilled to be able to keep reading!!
