My Weird School Daze

review 1: I love reading books from Dan Gutman's "My Weird Schol" series aloud to my youngest and to the classes who come visit the library because, secretly, I love doing the different voices of the characters and "performing" for the kids. My absolute favorite part of being a school librarian.This book had me, my volunteer, my roughest and toughest 5th graders, and even the 5th grade teacher laughing out loud as AJ and his friends learn to play Pee Wee football and learn the value of teamwork. AJ and his friends are hesitant of their new coach, at first, because their new coach turns out to be a lady! As always, AJ gives his opinion about cheerleaders, end zone dances, team work, and coaches in this comical book.
review 2: Part of the “My Weird School Daze” series... more, this book is a delightful exploration of teamwork, friendship, and competition. Eight-year-old Arlo (AJ) learns that his new football coach is, of all things, a girl. Not only that, but she’s a girl who calls the players ragamuffins, which leaves AJ wondering a ragamuffin is (a muffin made of rags?). Coach Hyatt teaches the team to be a team, having them lift her car and run a secret play. We also get to meet Coach Wyatt’s seven-year old son, Wyatt, whose best talent is picking his nose. Andrea is the icky girl cheerleader who ends up helping the team. Michael, a teammate, never ties his shoes. Ryan is the teammate who is constantly trying to get a bathroom break. Neil is also known as the nude kid. With unexpected humor and running gags, the author keeps the story silly enough for any kid. Boys, especially, will enjoy reading this story. less
