    " After rereading this childhood favorite for the first time in probably 20 years, I can see why I loved it so much. Did I enjoy it quite so much this time around? No. But I did still like it quite a bit. And I can see my students really loving the absurdity of it. Would be a great read-aloud - maybe do just a couple of stories a week with my fourth graders, building to some fun projects - like writing our own set of silly class stories. "

    " I loved this book when I was younger. Our librarian read it to us in second grade, and everyone was belly laughing. Some parts were not so funny for me though, because I felt bad for the kids getting tormented by that awful teacher. Overall, it is a good book for grades 4 and under. "

    " This book was so great I gave it 5 stars. this book is about a teacher,her name is Mrs.Gorf and if a kid coughs or sneezes or does anything bad, Mrs. Gorf will turn them into an apple. It has so many other great stories. Each chapter is a new story. Hilarious! "

    " Every child should read this crazy book. It is just so much fun. It's one of those books that some grown-ups wouldn't approve of, but I think kids can tell that Sachar was writing just for them. It really is an amazing book. "

    " Just about the best children's fiction out there! The running gags, the oddball students and faculty, the fun absurdity that never becomes potty humor... these are probably some of the funniest books I've ever read, let alone in my childhood. Shout out to dead rats and potato ankle tattoos. "
