Crazy Wayside!Commenter: St. Charles Reader, grade 0
This book is about a crazy school with a nineteenth floor that doesn't exist and all the other wacky things that only author Louis Sachar can come up with!
Elephant and Piggie are back and in this adventure, they discover they are book characters. Piggie uses this to her advantage. 'I can make the reader say a word!.... If the reader reads out loud' Here I go!... Ahem'..'Banana.' Silliness ensues. What will Elephant and Piggie do when they remember that books end? Another fun story for beginning readers with humor that adults will also appreciate. And as in the others, Pigeon makes an appearance. Reading Level 1.6

What Stinks is a humorous and information packed book explaining why some animals, insects and plants smell the way they do. Is it just to make us hold our noses? No, the smells help the creatures survive in the wild. Have you ever smelled a skunk? Skunks use their smell to chase away predators. Includes great photographs, vocabulary words (throughout the book and in a separate glossary), and a bibliography.
