Book Description:
Hooray! Wayside School is Open Again!

All the kids from Wayside School had to spend 243 days in horrible schools while Wayside closed to get rid of the cows (Don't ask!). Now the kids are back and the fun begins again on every floor. Miss Mush has prepared a Day on the 30th floor--with dogs and cats and frogs and skunks and pigs, and an orange named Fido causing a terrible commotion. In Mrs. Drazil's class, they're throwing a coffeepot, a sack of potatoes, a pencil sharpener, and a light bulb out the window to see which hits the ground first. But the big surprise is that Mrs. Jewls is expecting a baby--but one named Cootie Face or Bucket Head--and a substitute teacher is coming--and everyone knows what that means...

Something strange is going on at the already peculiar Wayside School, when Mrs. Jewls leaves her students with a succession of substitute teachers.

My 9-year old son loves the Wayside School books. He has read them all and just devoured each one.

Aren't we glad its getting stranger. This series is enjoyed by elementary school age (and their parents, who may fight the kids for the first read). Trapped voices get returned - even to Scotland; Santa Claus is proved to be real; and Louis the yard teacher becomes fist a villain and then a romantic hero.

Back Cover:
Before you enter Wayside School, you should know that it's a thirty-story building with one classsroom on each floor. Mrs. Jewel teaches the class on the thirtieth story. Miss Zarves teaches the class on the nineteenth story - except there is no nineteenth story., so there is no Miss Zarves. Understand? Good. Explain it to Calvin.
