The Best School Year Ever, by Barbara Robinson
4.0
When I finished reading this book aloud to my 3rd grade students most students gave it 5 stars.
Here's why students and teachers can enjoy this book. It's funny! It's full of moments that will get the kids groaning, laughing, and shrieking with surprise.
The kids love the Herdmans and who wouldn't they are memorable characters.
I found it to be a great read aloud for my students for the beginning of the year because it gives a great kid perspective to school and encourages kids to think about the good in everyone just like Beth (the narrator has to with the Herdmans).
However, this can't get 5 stars, only because [b:The Best Christmas Pageant Ever|239810|The Best Christmas Pageant Ever|Barbara Robinson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173031155s/239810.jpg|1632383] is even better and the best Herdman story.
A worthy read and much better than a lot of the children's dribble out there!
