I remember reading the Wayside School series numerous times when I was a kid. I love Louis Sachar’s writing. I saw Sideways Stories from Wayside School (the first in the series) among my other books and I thought I’d re-read it again now as an adult. It did not disappoint. The humor still resonates no matter your age. I still love the idea of a 30-floor school with one class on every floor instead of a one-story tall building with 30 classrooms.

These are the best. I have always loved the Wayside school stories. I read them to my kids. We get a good laugh every time!

My five year old loves it! I enjoyed reading it to her as well. I remembered my first grade teacher reading this to me which is what prompted me to check this book out. We'll be starting Wayside School is Falling Down next!
