More Tales from the Classroom at the End of the Hall

by Douglas Evans, Larry Di Fiori (Illustrator)

Mysterious goings-on transpire in the classroom at the end of the hall. One of the four rules posted above the blackboard in the tall teacher's classroom is "Raise your hand to talk," but Paul can't seem to stop himself from just blurting out whatever he has to saythat is, until confetti-like moths begin fluttering around his face every time he opens his mouth. Not surprisinglygiven the way things work at W. T. Melon Elementary Schoolthere is a solution that Paul soon comes to learn. And so it goes with Kimberly, who has a bad habit of cutting in line, and Zachary, who can't seem to stay put in his chair."

This book was absolutely wonderful! So many stories surrounding problems kids encounter in class every day. I laughed out loud more than once! I will definitely be using these stories in my classroom.

For a children's book, I thought it was wonderful. All the stories were written to teach kids a lesson and they were very original and creative. I don't know if students will actually take the lesson to heart, but it was definitely an interesting read.

This book wasn't as good as Math Rashes, but it was still clever.
