Review # 1 was written on 2008-05-13 00:00:00 Patrick Kincaid Mr. Macky was Wacky because he would read any and everything,reading is something everyone has to learn to do, but who walks around holding a can of soup reading the lable. When AJ ask Mr. Macky what was his favorite move he said Star Wars, he liked the beginning of the movie when the words scroll up the screen, now tell me that's not wacky. Mr. Macky came to AJ class dress up as Abraham Lincoln to teach them about the president's. They had to do a oral report on their favorite president, and talk about it on the day after President's Day in class. Mr. Macky's said his favorite president was Millard Fillmore, he kept writing his name on the black board in different way's like Fillard Millmore, Moremill Fillard, Lardfill Moremill, I told you Mr. Macky was Wacky. And who didn't know the color of the White House, Mrs. Dasiey she said the it was blue, how did she become a teacher, as AJ would say dumhead. This was the first time I had to read so many books for school on my summer vacation, but I enjoyed reading them with my mother. As you can see my favorite books were the werid school collection, they were funny me and my mom laughed a lot.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-11-06 00:00:00 Thomas Wojtczuk Mr. Wacky is too wacky for me! To start with the positives, this book is funny, and it's humor is an avenue for teaching presidential facts. I like books that can teach in a fun way. However, this book just crossed too many lines for my taste. The main character, A.J., reminds me of Junie B. Jones- except ruder. He talks meanly to his classmates, but I can excuse it (mostly) considering his age and maturity level. The biggest deal breaker for me in this story is how all the adults are portrayed as incompetent. The teacher is said to "not know anything," and Mr. Wacky is really bizarre. At one point, he speeds in and out of the classroom, each time portraying a different president. On one of his run-ins, he "wasn't wearing any clothes at all. He just had a towel wrapped around him!" He was representing John Quincy Adams, highlighting that he liked to go "skinny-dipping in the Potomac River near the White House."' That's just too much for me- especially as I read it aloud to my son! For our family, we will pass on the rest of the My Weird School series.
