Reading with David – sideways stories from the wayside school

David says:
I gave this story five stars because I thought all the stories were very funny and interesting.

I thought it was silly that Todd gave away Joy’s notebook instead of his. I liked that DJ always smiles and how it made everyone else smile, too and how he laughed and it made everyone else laugh too. I also liked how John could only read upside down. I loved the Miss Zarves one because it was so unexpected and funny. The story with the Erics was funny because all their nicknames were opposites of how the kids actually were. I didn’t like Kathy because she was always mean and expected things to go badly so they did. I thought it was funny that Louis offered Kathy money for her toes. And I liked how they turned Mrs. Gorf into an apple and ate her!

But my favorite one was Louis because I figured out early on that it was him telling the story because that’s the author’s name.

Reading a book a week with my six-year-old son David is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
