This is the third in Mr. Gutman's new series and it was by far my first-grade son's favorite of the three. The narration by AJ, the reluctant school-goer, is engaging and the character of Mrs. Loopy is well-drawn and entertaining. Throughout the book Mrs. Loopy makes attempts to liven up books for AJ in order to turn him into someone who doesn't hate books. Judging by how well the author lured my son (a reluctant reader) into the book, Mrs. Loopy met her objective.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am an elementary school teacher and found three parts of the book objectionable.
1) Mrs. Loopy pulls up her shirt to show a tattoo to AJ and his classmates.
2) AJ and his classmates break into Mrs. Loopy's office instead of lining up with the rest of their class.
3) In the last chapter AJ grabs Mrs. Loopy's shirt and pulls it out in order to have visual access to her belly button.

An enjoyable read, but be aware of those parts before you read.

My eight year old loves this series. We are trying to entice him into reading more. This series is something that we can discuss, wondering what AJ will do next. I have my son read the title and first page of every chapter and we are working up to having him read more, as I read to him. His reading confidence and skills are definitely improving. The story lines keep his attention. It takes about an hour (for mostly me) to read out loud.

This is awesome! I like Mrs. Roopy. She's cool (defenitly cool)! This is A book you people (including kids) should read .(good)

I ordered the first five books from My Weird School and My Weird School Daze by Dan Gutman after reading the entire Captain Underpants series by Dav Pilkey to my two grandsons, ages 7 and 5. I really did not know if any books could be as fun for them as Captain Underpants, but they both love the Weird School books and find them humorous and entertaining. I enjoy reading these books to them and I know that they will be able to go back and read them on their own at a later date. I highly recommend these books!

I use these in the classroom and we laugh out loud! These books are a great way to encourage struggling readers! A must buy!

These books are very inappropriate for elementary school children. I returned them, they talk about how these children hate school and use unkind word to describe the teachers. Not recommended!!
