- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5plictisitor,foarte multe pagini in engleza!!!ar trebuii sa fii englez!!!!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of my favorite things is the sound of my 6-year-old son belly laughing. My son gets a kick out of life, so I get to hear this often. Another of my favorite things is to curl up with him and read. I love to share a story with him before bed. So, you can imagine my joy when I get to enjoy both at the same time. My son laughed his way through [Miss Daisy Is Crazy], the first book in the My Weird School series. I had a few chuckles too. Gutman writes a good story, fast paced with lots of "cliff hangers" at the end of the chapters. We couldn't wait to see if A. J. and his 2nd grade classmates could read a million pages and turn the school into a video game arcade. He even put several more books from this series on his Christmas list. I'll bet Santa won't disappoint him!

I Hate School!
My name is A.J. I like football and video games, and I hate school.
Our teacher, Miss Daisy, was taking attendance. It was the first day of second grade. Miss Daisy told everyone in the class to stand up, say our name, and say something about ourself.
All the kids laughed when I said I hated school. But there was nothing funny about it. I have learned a lot in my eight years. One thing I learned is that there is no reason why kids should have to go to school.
If you ask me, kids can learn all we need to learn by watching TV. You can learn important information like which breakfast cereal tastes best and what toys you should buy and which shampoo leaves your hair the shiniest. This is stuff that we’ll need to know when we grow up.
School is just this dumb thing that grown-ups thought up so they wouldn’t have to pay for baby-sitters. When I grow up and have children of my own, I won’t make them go to school. They can just ride their bikes and play football and video games all day. They’ll be happy, and they’ll think I’m the greatest father in the world.
But for now, I wanted to let my new teacher, Miss Daisy, know from the very start how I felt about school.
You know what, A.J.?
Miss Daisy said, I hate school too.
You do?
We all stared at Miss Daisy. I thought teachers loved school. If they didn’t love school, why did they become teachers? Why would they ever want to go to a school as a grown-up? I know that when I’m a grown-up, I’m not going to go anywhere near a school.
Sure I hate school,
Miss Daisy continued. If I didn’t have to be here teaching you, I could be home sitting on my comfortable couch, watching TV and eating bonbons.
Wow!
we all said.
What’s a bonbon?
asked Ryan, a kid with black sneakers who was sitting next to me.
Bonbons are these wonderful chocolate treats,
Miss Daisy told us. "They’re about the size of a large acorn, and you
