Never before has school been this mixed up – or this much fun!
Miss Daisy, who teaches second grade, doesn't know how to add or subtract. Not only that, she doesn't know how to read or write, either. She is the dumbest teacher in the history of the world!
Too easy for the 9-12 crowd I thought the idea of the series was cute so I bought books 1-4 for my 8yo sold (3rd grade). I read the books I buy him first, just so I'm familiar with the content and so I can test his comprehension. I read this one last nite and was disappointed.
I try and buy a level above his so that a book will be a challenge for him, but this was definitely not challenging for an 8yo let alone 9-12 as suggested on the site. The concepts were repetitive. The vocabulary was limited. The overall subject was funny and my 8yo will find it amusing, so that's good.
The book was cute, and I will keep the four I have as more recreational reading for him, but as part of his nightly reading assignments/reading log, I'll keep searching for more robust chaper books.
Advanced 1st graders loved this book This beginning chapter book appeals to children because the characters are fun. My students loved the illustrations and many of them looked for other books by the same author (there are many). It introduced some challenging words (circumference) but in a way that the kids could understand.
If you've ever taught second grade... I discovered Dan Gutman's Weird School series from tutoring a second grade boy who "hated reading." Not only did he like the books, I loved them! Second graders are the crazy ones, and these books remind me of when I taught second grade. In fact, I think Dan Gutman must really be a second grader in disguise as a grown-up...
A Crazy Life I think that everyone should read Miss Daisy Is Crazy because it's a fun book. You can learn about her craaazy life. If you laugh and make different voices it will make it even funnier. -EG
This book is really cool. This book is written by the famous author Dan Gutman. This book is good for ages 8-10. It is a really good book that I know you will enjoy.This boo is so funny. It is really funny. Miss Daisy is teaching second grade and she doesn't even know how to do anything. She is really dumb. The kids in her class are even smarter than miss Daisy. That is why the book is called Miss Daisy is Crazy. I hope for readind my review it will make you read this fabulous book. I hope you are going to enjoy this book.
