The Fabled Fifth Graders of Aesop Elementary School by Candace Fleming 170 pages

This follows The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School. The kids may be one year older and one year funnier. They are "fabled" because each story ends with a moral. Tlhis also follows up where Sachar's Wayside School left off. Lots of classroom humor make this a natural book for teachers to read in the classroom. (Are teachers still able to read in the classroom???) The eccentric Mr. Jupiter returns as their teacher (no other teacher wants this class) and has the strength, patience and humor to deal with them. Funny, funny stuff.
