5.0 out of 5 stars Nurse from the Black Lagoon, April 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The School Nurse From The Black Lagoon (Paperback)

(As told to me by my eight-year-old brother)-If you like reading about weird stuff, this book is for you. A boy hears bad stuff about the school nurse, and his imagination runs wild. This is a good book, because it shows that a person can be good, even though you hear bad stuff about them.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The School Nurse From The Black Lagoon (Paperback)

The people in this book say no one has ever seen the nurse. Her name is Mrs. Hearse. The kids say she has see-through statues of body parts, eye balls on rubber bands, heads filled with brains, and bodies stuffed with everything else.
They also say that there was a kid with a stomachache and his skeleton is still there. She never leaves her office. She must eat her lunch there. They also say another kid got run over by a VCR cart and was flattened. He's now the rug in her office. The kids are scared of the school nurse.
We recommend this book to ages from five to ten because it tells you that just because somebody says something about someone, it doesn't mean it is true.

I am a school nurse myself and purchased multiple copies of this book to give to my nursing coworkers as gifts. I had never read the book so I went out on a limb but both my 4 year old and myself found it amusing.
