Purple Climbing Days (The Kids of the Polk Street School) ReviewIn my elementary school days; I enjoyed several authors; among them; Edward Packard; Beverly Cleary; and Particia Reilly Giff.
In this installment of "Kids at Polk Street School", the focal point is on Richard; afraid of climbing ropes. Giff successfully emphasizes with a common fear of elementary students--I never scrounged up the courage to climb the ropes at my elementary school--and I may go back some day to do so.
While I see where Giff is coming from; points off for the "cliche" of bad school lunches, and mean substitute teachers.
Still, the series is decent for those in grades 2-5.Purple Climbing Days (The Kids of the Polk Street School) Overview

Leprechauns Don't Play Basketball (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #4) ReviewSomething very weird is going on at Bailey Elementary School. It's plenty weird enough when you think your teacher is a vampire from the Transylvanian mountains, but what are you supposed to do when your substitute gym teacher seems to be a leprechaun??
Eddie, Melody and the gang are back in this, the 4th installment of the Bailey School Kids series, and as per usual, they're up to their old tricks... Especially Eddie.
Mr. O'Grady is from Ireland, and is perhaps the shortest, most wrinkled man in the world. But boy, can he dance a jig and play basketball!! Why, it's almost magical the way he moves so fast and gets that ball through that hoop so easily! And what's with that bag of jewels he's always carrying with him?? Strange things seem to happen when he touches them...
The Bailey School Kids series has by now established itself as fun, fast-paced series where unusual things happen to the third grade gang. The most fun for young readers will be that nothing is explicitly spelled out for the reader: Mr. O'Grady COULD be a real live leprechaun (and their teacher COULD be a real vampire), or he could not be. A good deal of the evidence points to "yes!" but not enough to be100% sure (although, by the 4th book, if you've read them in order, you're starting to get a sinking feeling that there ARE mythical/supernatural creatures visiting the school).
This book is less creepy or scary than the first two have been, and is much more light-hearted and fun. Therefore, it's a good choice for beginning readers who are easily spooked. It's a fast-paced read as well, which will snag the interest of even reluctant readers.Leprechauns Don't Play Basketball (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #4) Overview
