My 7 year old daughter loves this series. First discovered at school, we have purchased many of the available titles, and she avidly reads each one at night. Good practice, although some slang and concepts ("I hate school") have to be addressed by the parent.

I was beyond excited when I first discovered this series! I purchased a couple of titles to read before I gave them to my eight year old son. I did not like the constant name calling between the children. I do realize this happens at schools, I just don't think it should be used so repetively in a book of fiction. I have realized that some books in the series have less name calling than others so I will just proofread them before purchasing. This title had too many for my taste. I think the concept and actual writing are great but I don't like having to repeatedly address the negative connotations.

Ms. Hannah Is Bananas by Dan Gutman. This book is about AJ's teacher Ms. Hannah. The characters are AJ, Ryan, Mrs. Hannah, Ms. Daisy, and Andrea. Mrs. Hannah does not have a garbage can, because she never wastes anything. She puts it in a ball. For instance, AJ's friend, Ryan, blew his nose on a tissue and Ms Hannah took it and stuck it on a newspaper ball. It was nasty.
Dan Gut man grew up in New York and his birthday is on October 9, 1955. Dan Gutman wrote a lot of books like Miss Roopy Is Loopy and Miss Daisy Is Crazy. They were good books. I like this book because it is funny and mysterious. It was funny when AJ rode his skateboard and fell off.

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