Fleming, Candice. The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School. New York: Schwartz & Wade, 2007. Booklist recommends this book for grades 3-5.
Mrs. Wilson says: The good news is that this is a clever book with a neat concept. The bad news is that it took me for-ev-er to finish it because I kept getting distracted by other books that I found more interesting. I did like what I read, though. The 4th grade class in this school has such bad behavior that no one wants to be their teacher. A teacher (who must be 300 years old judging by how many different adventures he's had) tames the wild beasts. The best part of the book is that each chapter demonstrates a moral from the fables that Aesop wrote long ago (get it? Aesop Elementary?) in a funny and surprising way. If you like the Wayside stories, I think you'll like this book.
Find The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School at the Bledsoe Library.
