It’s so funny!

I love this so much! Shame on who said they don’t like it. It so awesome, there is only one part that I don’t like because it makes me sad for some reason. I wish I had the other books!

Ridiculous and fun

My girls ages 8 and 9 thought these stories were hilarious and fun. I found them ridiculous but enjoyed many of the chapters. Some of them were kinda a cringy, like when there was teasing involved. For a quick listen, they proved to be highly entertaining for my daughters.

Great Story

As a child I loved The Wayside School books. Earlier this year, my great nephew wanted to try an audiobook because I’m always listening to them. I bought 4 to share with him including this one. Introducing him to audiobooks and The Wayside School series was amazing. He’s 8 and loved the book and to my surprise 43 year old me still loved the book. I immediately went and bought all 4 audiobooks in the series although as a child only books 1 & 2 existed for me to read. I can’t wait to introduce all the 3 great nephews to Wayside School!

he needs more variety in his voice when he's reading along. almost seems monotone.. but the stories are definitely always going to be old favorites!

Excellent but can be improved

I liked the performance and the story but, for the story some words were wrongly read. The performance doesn’t really have any emotions.
