Ilustration In Favor Of Books Wayside School Is Falling Down (Wayside School #2)
This was the first book I ever bought at a school book fair and it will remain one of my favorites. I recently decided to read one chapter of it each night to my 6 year old son. I loved the sounds of his giggles and howling laughter as I read the stories that made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe as a child. I was afraid that he wouldn't love the stories as much as I had as a child. I was also afraid that I wouldn't find the stories as entertaining this time around. I was very wrong! The delightful little children on the top floor of this silly school still put me in stitches and kept my son's usually waivering attention. I am so glad I decided to revisit this part of my childhood and brought my son along for the hilarious ride.Define About Books Wayside School Is Falling Down (Wayside School #2)

Does anyone else remember that heavenly smell of newsprint in school when you fill out your order form for your book club? And your moms neatly signed check in your chubby fist, paper clipped to your book mark sized list ready to turn in. *batts eyes* And the excitement when you see piles and piles of books rubber banded together knowing your about to get your hands on your own stack. Sorry, got lost in a moment.Extremely clever book. My son wanted to read it badly. Thank you, Mr. Sachar.I noticed Glee used one of the same jokes. I watching the show (Season three, Episode two) and heard the joke, "What is the capitol of Ohio?" "O." Then later that same day I read the same joke in the book (which is at least twenty years older than the TV show, of course.) LOLAnyway, definitely recommend this, but it is second in the series, so read the first one first.
My all-knowing son didn't want to read this. I remembered reading it in grade school. He rolled his eyes quite a bit but do you know who won??!! Me!! (In your face, sucker!) And he LOVED it. Wouldn't shut up about each chapter. Then I rolled my eyes quite a bit. Yeah I know, I know; It's funny! It's so dumb yet witty. Lots of giggling going on here. I won. He's a sucker. :)
How did I not know there was an entire series of Wayside??? I only ever knew about the first 2 books. 😮😩

I read this book because my 2nd-grader liked it so much and recommended it to me. He normally will tell me about books he's read, but since this was the first one he wanted me to read, I thought I'd give it a try. Plus, I wanted to be able to discuss it knowledgably with him. Louis Sachar is a clever writer who, I believe, appeals to all ages. His many puns and literal interpretations of figurative sayings were delightful, and my son and I enjoyed talking about our favorite parts. Here's one we
