Children's Literature

The holiday season is here and Miss Holly, A.J.'s Spanish teacher, is over the top with her enthusiasm for all the winter holidays. From Secret Santa to Santa Klutz to the Holiday Pageant where the dancing dreidel spins off the stage and onto the lap of the president of the Board of Education, kids will have fun reading this very silly story. Stereotypically boys boo all the teacher's suggestions while the girls cheer. From the My Weird School series, the book will give kids just a little factual information Christmas, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah—information that is a bit distorted with A. J.'s madcap recap of students' presentations. Along the way, you'll learn some Spanish words including ones you might need if you are ever at the beach and "need to tell somebody the lifeguard's toupee fell in the toilet." Illustrated with cartoon-like drawings. Buy this book for an easy and entertaining read.
