Summary: Third graders love hearing Wayside School
Review: Each year I read aloud the Wayside School books. Sometimes I change the name of the characters to one of the kids in my class. We have alot of fun with the stories. We chose to feature L. Sachar during Children's Book Week this Year. He really turns the kids on to literature!

Summary: Funny, funny, funny.
Review: The "Wayside School" Trilogy are some of Louis Sachar's greatest books. He once said, "I don't write what I think kids will think is funny, I write what I think is funny." This really shows in this book. The humor is so off the wall, there is no way it was written as something kids think of as funny. Kids will think it is funny though, they will laugh out loud, just as I did

Summary: Weird Wild Wayside School
Review: I think this book deserves an 8 because it describes very well about the children and teacher's what they do and their habits.
This book I'm reading is a good book. it talks about every single child an teacher.The book starts off with a mean teacher called MS.Gorf. She turns the children into apples.Then one day she turns herself into an apple and Louis eats the apple and she no longer exists.Then it talks about a teacher named Ms. Jewels who is the best teacher and then it goes on talking about the children. The last chapter is about Louis the yard teacher. He's the one who wrote the book, he said that's the reason the school is so weird.Hopefully you check out tis book.

Review: It's so funny you have to read it over and over again

Summary: Funny and makes you think
Review: I think that this book is very interesting and you should also read its sequels, Wayside School Is Falling Down and Wayside School gets a Little Stranger. But I also think that there is something serious about these stories. Sometimes you can feel the author's opinion about something, or just start thinking. These books are something like nonsense poetry

Summary: REALLY GOOD
Review: This book is really funny, and I just want to keep on reading more and more about Wayside School. Thank goodness there are two more books in the series, or I'd be going crazy

Summary: Memories
Review: This book brings back memories. I used to read it all of the time when I was a child. I would check it out from my school's library almost every chance I got. I had forgotten about this book, because it has been a while since I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade. I'm 22 now. I ran across it while surfing the net and the memories started flooding back. I think that any child would love to read this book and it will become one of their favorites.

Summary: A funny, modivational collection...
Review: I recently dug this book out from beneath a lot of my childhood stuff. My dad read it to me when I was just a little kid; at 18, I just reread it, and enjoyed it as much, if not more so--because now I could read between the lines.Thirty chapters. Each one is like a fable--an entertaining story, a nugget of truth woven into the fabric of each one. Peer pressure, politeness, standing up for yourself...sometimes the lessons are direct, sometimes they are subtle. Maybe kids won't understand them exactly, but they'll certainly remember the stories and remember the lessons thus. The story: There is something very wrong with Wayside School. It was built sideways--instead of one story with 30 rooms, is has 30 stories and one room per story. No nineteenth story, though, meaning that Miss Zarves, who teaches there, doesn't exist, either. At Wayside, students have the tendency to get turned into apples; those pesky dead rats, who live in the basement, are always trying to get into class; sleeping through class is considered educational; turning the lights on and off is a task not just anyone can do; you can help yourself to ice cream with the flavor of your fellow students, but please refrain from biting your classmates; the lunch lady just can't ruin milk, no matter how hard she tries; mosquito bites are great for counting purposes; your two missing teeth are the best in the whole world, as are the hat you aren't wearing and the joke you didn't tell; only being able to read upside down ain't much of a problem, after all; where toes cost a nickel apiece, unless they're little runts; trading names consists of spinning around really fast until you don't know who's who; if two plus two doesn't equal four, watch out; and where you need a reason to be sad, but not to be happy. "Sideways Stories From Wayside School" by Lous Sachar is a classic. Buy it, for your kid, your sibling, your niece/nephew, or yourself. It's entertaing for all ages, and just might help its reader become a better person.

Summary: Mike Reviews This Book
Review: I believe that every author has to take a break. Every author after writing lots of successful books wants to do something different. I believe that every author wants to be controversial at times. Sooner or later every author wants to break the mold by writing a book that is original. For Louis Sachar this was "Sideway Stories from Wayside School."
"Sideway Stories From Wayside School" is an unusual book. It contains many different stories of this unusual school. By reading these stories we notice, that the audience the book is directed to, is children. But for those with a trained eye they can notice that there are many hidden principles and ideas that strike the mind subconsciously. If "Sideway Stories from Wayside School" is read more keenly you will notice much more than the funny (and sometimes ridiculous) stories.
I believe that this great little book contains many features that are waiting to be discovered and I recommend you to read Louis Sachar unusual book with your eyes peeled and remember: every author has to take a break once in a while.
