A cute little story! I listened to the audiobook via Epic! books. This one is shorter than the beginning chapter books. Great intro to the book series before giving students the opportunity to explore the chapter book versions.

simple story about anticipating a new teacher. My six year old liked the twist at the end and the build-up.

The puns, the illustrations, the writing, and the dialogue all come together really well!! It's an awesome read -- humor for kids, humor for adults. Wonderful!

This was probably the first book I read in the Black Lagoon series. It's a good place to start for sensitive children, because it is not nearly as dark as the first two books. There are still a few minor morbid moments (kids being trapped up in the ceiling after the gym teacher set the rope on fire), but they are less graphic than in the previous books (feeding kids to pet alligators).A funny book about the fear of new gym teacher. I love the illustrations. There is so much detail in them. This is also a great book for parents because of all of the word play and allusions (Coach Kong) that children might not fully understand, but will still be entertained by.

I remember really loving the silliness of these tales as a kid. Granted, I read these in a time where our principal would threaten to, "string you up by your toes and hang you from the basketball hoops" if we were misbehaving, so my sense of what was okay to joke about and what was not may have already been a little skewed.
In this tale, the main character is nervous to meet the new gym teacher that he has heard rumors about. The teachers name is Mr. Green!
Mr Green is rumored to make kids do all kinds of crazy things in class like running laps, taking fitness tests, and lifting a pickup!
Of course, when the coach blows the whistle, the main character learns that he's just a regular guy.
