Summary: It Was The Book Of The Year!!!!!!
Review: Something verrry strange is going on at Bailey Elementary... Stranger than having a vampire for a 3rd grade teacher. Stranger than having an alien teaching art or a leprechaun teaching gym class. Yes, this is VERRY strange: the 3rd graders are all falling in soppy-moppy LOVE with each other!! Could the new cook, who is serving up heart-shaped hamburgers and cookies, have something to do with it??

A series that is rapidly growing into it's 40's, the Bailey School Kids may have met their match when their new cafeteria cook starts whipping up luv potion #9 goodies for the student body. This is book #12 in the series and will likely appeal to young boys for the "ewwww!" factor of students getting all mushy on other students, especially Eddie who is normally the prankster and unbeliever of all these odd occurrences.

Some books in the series are downright creepy-"Werewolves Don't Go to Summer Camp" and "Skeletons Don't Play Tubas" comes to mind-and some are more funny or silly. "Cupid Doesn't..." falls into this latter category. It's fun, it's cute, it's a good holiday tie-in for teachers in the month of February, but if it's dark, creeping heebie-jeebies you're looking for, you won't find it here.

On the other hand, it's a fun, very fast-moving series that has been known to rope in even very reluctant readers because of what I like to call the "what if...?" factor. That is, nothing is plainly spelled out: Cupid COULD be flipping hamburgers, or the new cook could just be a Valentine's Day mad woman in the spirit of things. You, the reader, will have to read and decide for yourself!

Summary: I really enjoyed this book!!
Review: This was a great story. The main characters are Howie, Eddie, Liza, Melody and Mrs. Rosenbloom. The book is mostly about a new cafeteria lady who makes food that is heart shaped. Almost everybody eats a cookie she made. She gave them a heart button too. Eddie and Howie are the only ones who didn't eat a cookie. They find out that the button is an arrow that makes people fall in love with each other. Even the teachers are falling in love. The boys made a batch of cookie dough that tasted sour. She catches Eddie bringing the cookie dough to the mixing bowl. She gives him a cookie and makes him eat it. He falls in love too. She makes the cookie dough that Eddie and Howie snuck into the bowl. Everyone eats it and everything turns back to normal. Once again the Bailey School Kids saved the day!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better Book Than Others
Review: When Liza, Melody, Howie and Eddie meet Mrs. Rosenbloom, Eddie thinks Mrs. rosenbloom is a cupid because she made those heart hamburgers. She also made people in-love like Principal Davis and Mrs. Jeepers. I can't believe Carey has a crush on Eddie. Then, One day Eddie decides to make a cure, A cure that people will not be in-love. One day he brought it to school and mixed it in Mrs. Rosenbloom's recipe. After those people tasted it, They Complained about the food because it was not delicious. One day Mrs. Rosenbloom was gone because she is done working there
