Mrs. Kormel is not Normal is about a crazy bus teacher that doesn’t even know where the new kid’s house is. The funny thing about the book is that they weren’t allowed to kneel and crouch in the bus and somebody said if your name is crouch or kneel can you kneel or crouch on the bus and the bus driver said yes. Then Andrea said there is nobody named kneel or crouch but it ended up that the new kid was named Neil crouch. I would recommend this book.
My ten and seven-year-old boys LOVE reading the books in this series. They can completely relate to the main character, A.J., and his trademark opening line: My name is A.J. and I hate school”. Of course, A.J.’s school is a fabulous place for boys and he can’t help but learn things. All the books are quick and enjoyable reads.
This episode is about the bus driver, Mrs. Kormel, and a disastrous day on the way to school. My boys and I were laughing out loud through most of this book. We liked it so much, we gave a copy to our busdriver so she could enjoy it with her sons.
My grade-school kids love the whole series of these books, either when they’re reading by themselves or when I’m reading to them.
But this one is my favorite. “Stryker Smith is fighting Evil under the bus!”, and the mini-eulogy by the kids “It’s hard to be alive/When you don’t have a head”, I still can’t help laughing just thinking about it. And we find out exactly why Neil Crouch is “Neil the nude kid”.
