If you have never read a Black Lagoon book, you'd enjoy this book. Be aware, though that it is a stand alone book. It does not fit with the general theme of other Black Lagoon Books. Having read several other ones, I was very disappointed. This is not what I was expecting. If I had had a chance to read this book first, I would not have purchased it.

This review is from: The Substitute Teacher from the Black Lagoon (Paperback)

But we do! Here is a sweet book that ALL substitutes of elementary grades should have on hand as a TERRIFIC ice breaker. It reminds kids that things are not always as they seem and that every one of us should not be judged without being given a fair chance. The SCARIEST of thoughts turn out to be the FUNNIEST mistakes. The KIDS and the SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS alike will have fun with this book.
