Sachar shows off another funny to the world
Theres a Boy in the Girls bathroom, by Louis Sachar is a very comical book. It is a funny way of telling the story of a boy and how he overcomes his problems with friends and school. Ten-year old Bradley Chalkers is one tough bully. He doesnt do his homework, he scribbles in school, and he doesnt have any friends; at least for a while. One day a new boy , Jeff Fishkin, comes to school. Jeff is an exception to Bradleys other classmates, who hate Bradley. Jeff actually wants to be friends with Bradley! Bradley doesnt know what to think. Bradleys teacher, concered about the scribbled on school work, starts sending him to the new school counselor, in hope of helping him pay attention. Bradley thinks the counselor, Carla Davis, is weird. She agrees to whatever he says, wears funny sweaters, and asks him to call her by her first name! Slowly Carla helps Bradley gain self confidence. This book will make you appreciate your friends more! This book taught me that difficult times can be rewarding, if you try your best at them.

A thoughtful, well written story kids can really relate to!!
I am an educator, and I have just finished reading this book with a small group of kids. The book brings to life "real stuff" that kids can relate to. There is probably at least one character in the story that kids can "jump into their shoes". The kids didnt want to put the book down, and this was a group of readers that do not have a high level of reading skills and confidence. For most of them, this is the only book they have ever finished and most importantly enjoyed!! We can most likely all say we have known a Bradley, Jeff, Melinda, Colleen, or Carla. This book is excellent for teaching kids the importance of making good choices and thinking for themselves. Its full of inspiration. I read a revie written by a ten year old expressing his concern about the violence in the fight scenes. Fights happen with kids, and for many of the same reasons. The feelings surrounding the fights were true to life and important for kids to experience. As we know, our lives and theirs are not always "picture perfect" and "cream-coated". Kids are smart, and they will undoubtedly love this read!!!!!

An excellent book for children of all ages
After reading Holes, recommened by children in my class, I managed to get hold of a copy of "Theres a boy in the girls bathroom" and enjoyed it so much, thought Id read it to my class. They couldnt wait until the end of the day, to hear more of Bradley Chalkers and his exploits. This book works on many levels, and the children really did empathise with Bradley. It gave us excellent opportunities to discuss issues of bullying, tolerance and acceptance of others. I wont give away the end, but it had some of my class in tears. A truely wonderful story that we can all learn from.

Mandys new friend John is crazy about rabbits. Hes got his heart set on buying two baby rabbits in the local pet shop. But before he has a chance, Barney and Button are gone! Mandy and James decide to find the new owner - but thats when their problems begin... 
This book is designed to be read while in the bathroom. This means it contains articles of 1 or 2 pages in length -- its the ultimate "dip-in" book. It has a nice mix of Mad-ness across the ages, not too much new stuff, quite a bit of the old stuff (which I personally prefer). I, of course, read it ..
