The Teacher's Funeral: A Comedy in Three Parts Audiobook

" A funny and delightful read. I recommend it for light reading to cheer up your spirits! "

" A fun book with a look into earlier times and the lives of people living away from big cities. I especially enjoyed the ending where you learned what happened to the characters after they had grown up. "

" Richard Peck does a lot of young adult 'issue' books, which I like. However, I love the ones where he gets into historical ficiton. This is a great one. I think it was his most recent. I'm waiting for another. If anyone knows of one, let me know. "

" Great book, good clean humor! "

" Another great book by Richard Peck. While not quite as wonderful as A Long Way from Chicago or A Year Down Yonder, it takes place in the same kind of old-timey small-town in the Midwest, with plenty of shenanigans and humor. Very good read. "

" Hilarious book, reminds me of what my dad must have been like growing up. "

" I read it because it was Peck. But I didn't love it. "

" This was a fun book! "

" i had to read this the summer before 6th grade. almost everybody didn't like it including me. i have no idea why it's called a comedy. "

" Totally hilarious. "

" Delightful and fun to read! "

" The start was a little slow but once I got into it, I enjoyed this book. The book gives us a glimpse of rural life in the early 1900's through the eyes of 15 year boy. The main characters were well developed so that you became to care about them. "

" This book was so good. It was hard to get into at first, but don't let that discourage you. I kept reading and after the first chapter I was hooked. It was just hilarious and the writing was wonderful. "

" What a great way to look at school in 1904! Very funny. Great book to read w/ 6th graders. "

" Slow at the start, but picks up and is very funny. "

" Maybe I'm just tired of the folksy novel for now, but this seemed rather tedious. "

" LOVED this book! I got hooked on reading while I was on maternity leave, and it really started with this book. So cute. My husband and I still quote it. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was an excellent read, even though I randomly selected it off the shelf. I'm really gonna try and make my son read this because I think he will enjoy it. "

" Cute book about life in rural America. Some good quotes, humorous incidents, well written. "

" I laughed until I peed my pants! "

" Liked the country feel; fun, quick read "

" Delightful! Richard Peck is always a treat. "

" One of the best books I've read in a very long time! I've already recommended it to several friends. I loved this tender coming of age story. This is one of my new favorites! "

" Loved it. Perfect Richard Peck with the sweet, old-timey tales, believable and funny and so well done. It's like sitting back and listening to your grandpa tell about when he was young, only better. I wished there had been more. "

" Newbery Award winning author Richard Peck strikes again with a folksy, humorous read. The uproarious eulogy of the unfortunate Miss Myrt made me laugh out loud. Endearing and thoroughly entertaining! "

" Review first published on Reading Rumpus "

" Rec from Gonzo "

" This was no "Little Town on the Prairie", but it was a cute one-room-schoolhouse story, set in 1904 Indiana. "

" i had to read this the summer before 6th grade. almost everybody didn't like it including me. i have no idea why it's called a comedy. "

" Oh how I love Richard Peck's writing. The man himself is lovely as well, the fire and brimstone preacher of children's literature. "

" I am definitely going to read more of his books. They are such easy, feel-good stories, but not shallow at all. "

" Good book, just not my type. A sweet, rambling, look back at growing up in the Midwest in the early 1900s. "

" Peck is truly funny. I've enjoyed every single thing that I've read by him. Tansy and Aunt Maud and Dad and all of the other characters were chock full 'o fun. :) "

" What a fun book! The children's mischief, Tansy's courage and the all-knowing dad were really enjoyable. I think I would have given it more stars if I hadn't just finished another book with a young boy 'voice' that I enjoyed more. "

" His books make me laugh out loud! I love them! "

" Very entertaining. Would highly recommend. "

" PLAYAWAY For being a comedy, not as funny as I wanted/expected. Still a good story. Wrapped up nicely at the end. A happily ever after story for all involved. "

" Loved this book. This is a book for all ages. "

" There were a few funny parts, which were heightened by the narrator. "
