I remember having this read to me during story time in elementary school. It was a nice reprise from the typical stories where teachers were your best friends.

A kid is afraid of getting a new teacher at school in dreams she is a monster.

This was a great read. I have read it before, but today I read it to my kindergarten students. This provides some really great examples of complete sentences and exhibits a range of good vocabulary for students to become familiar with. Also, the action words are great to perform and allows for some interaction with students. They loved the story, the actions, and my questions about what they thought came next for each student. It was a fun read!

That escalated quickly. Like really quickly.

[Apparently a childhood classic, according to a Buzzfeed listicle, but unfortunately I have never read it until now. Still, better late than never!]

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleI loved these books growing up. Surprisingly, I never came across this one as a kid. This may be a good thing since I was a pretty sensitive child. This is probably the darkest of the books. From unscrewing kids' heads to biting them in half, this is kind of a violent book. Yes, the pictures are drawn in a humorous way, but I think I would have been a bit freaked out as a kid.Overall, a funny book for the right kid. Not recommended for very sensitive children. I still enjoy this series as a whole, although this was is just a tiny bit too dark for my taste.

This was one of my favorites as a child! I remember these as ones I read to myself a lot. It was fun to be able share it with a kindergarten class - though I was a little worried that I would scare them a bit!
