Sideways Stories from Wayside School

This entertaining book was written by Louis Sachar and illustrated by Adam McCauley.  It is about a school called Wayside School that was accidently built sideways.  Instead of being one story with 30 classrooms it was built with 30 stories, one classroom on each story.  The builder of the school not only made the mistake of building the school wrong, but he also forgot to add a 19th floor so the building skips from story 18 to 20!!  Throughout the book, each chapter focuses on a different teacher, student, or staff member from Wayside School and they all happen to be very strange people!  I think this book is hilarious because it just continues to get weirder and weirder as the chapters go on.  As the reader I became so interested in the book because I could not even imagine what weird things would happen next.  I KNOW that all children will love this silly book and enjoy it as much as did.  I feel that it is a perfect book to bring into the classroom to serve the sole purpose of pure enjoyment for the children and teacher.  : )
