Found a Funny Children's Book Author!

I happened to choose a kid's book from our free library and discovered a new author for me--Dan Gutman. I Enjoyed MISS DAISY IS CRAZY so much that I ordered all the Dan Gutman books I could get from the library (39)! They are quick reads and funny! They are aimed at 6 to10-year-olds but I think any elementary child would enjoy them. If you want a laugh, go read one of his books! They make me laugh out loud!

"Coach Hyatt Is a Riot!" by Dan Gutman

Coach Hyatt Is a Riot! by Dan Gutman is about AJ's Pee Wee football team.  The new coach is a woman and does some goofy things.  Her son is on the team but just stands around picking his nose all the time.  Some girls make up some cheers, which are super corny, and the coach even adds a the girl AJ hates to the team!  I think girls would enjoy this one more than boys, even though it is about football.  I liked it all right, but didn't think it was as funny as others I have read by this author in the "My Weird School" series.  (Karen's review, 3 stars)

"Ms. Hannah Is Bananas!" by Dan Gutman

Ms. Hannah Is Bananas! by Dan Gutman is book 4 in the "My Weird School" series.  This one is about the art teacher who says "Art is everywhere."  The animosity between AJ and Andrea is really funny and I enjoyed this book as well as the others in this series that I have read so far.  The ending of this book made me laugh out loud, it was hilarious.  I think elementary children would like this one.  (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"I'll Never Tell" by Catherine McKenzie

In I'll Never Tell by Catherine McKenzie, five children from the same family are all grown up.  It has been 20 years since a young girl was found dead at a camp run by the family.  Their parents are both dead, but before the children can do anything with the camp and the land it is on, they must solve who killed that girl.

I enjoyed this book very much because of the good story line and characters.  It kept my interest all the way through.  (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

"Mr. Hynde Is Out of His Mind" by Dan Gutman

Mr. Hynde is Out of His Mind by Dan Gutman is Book 6 in "My Weird School" series.  This one is about a new music teacher who gets the kids moving and uses rap which is very different from what the kids were used to.  Most kids like him, a few do not.  The kids get a big surprise when the principle tells the teachers to turn on their TVs in the classrooms.

I enjoyed this book too, but not quite as much as Miss Daisy is Crazy.  I laughed at some of the dialog and recommend this for elementary children.    (Karen's review, 4 stars)
