Publisher's summary

Prolific and popular author Dan Gutman launches a fun new series with this tale about second-grader A.J. and the unusual school he attends. On the first day of class, A.J. tells Miss Daisy he loves football and video games but hates school. Then Miss Daisy tells him she hates school, too, and the students think their teacher just might be an impostor.

Critic reviews

“Reluctant students will have no trouble relating to A.J., and breezy Miss Daisy illustrates how respecting kids and balancing learning with fun can produce positive results.” ( Booklist)

Excellent narration and very fun story!

Miss Daisy is the best teacher ever and how can a boy not like a book that starts with I'm AJ and I hate school

Really annoying narration, lame story

Would you try another book from Dan Gutman and/or Jared Goldsmith?

Not unless there was a different narrator. The narration was so annoying that my son would scream when I put it on! And the story was so predictable, my 5 year old kept saying what would happen next. Very dissapointing..

What was most disappointing about Dan Gutman’s story?

It was very predictable and not funny.

How could the performance have been better?

I know this sounds mean but there was just something really annoying about the way the narrator annunciated every syllable...the voice was just so clear and yet sort of raspy, it was like fingernails on a chalkboard...

Your mom

The first time you have a problem is if you’re going through something and you’re going through a problem you need help and then you’re not able and then you’re going to get it fixed so I think you’re not able because you’re going to be in the wrong and you have a lot to learn about it so you have a little time and a little bit to get through this but I don’t know how you can handle this situation because I know you’re going to have to be a little more difficult and you know how much you’re dealing and you know that you are not the only one that’s been there for a lot and you have a big deal but I know you are the one who has been through it and I don’t want you to have a little more than that I know you are not a little more and you have to deal and you are not that I am just saying you have a little more but I don’t want it to happen to me I just don’t know what you are I don’t want that I don’t want this situation and you know I don’t want you have a big problem and you have a problem and you have been there before I was there was no problem 😉

Not a series I want my kids reading

I personally have issues with books that involve unkind and disrespectful kids. Are we supposed to think they are funny? I am not amused.

My 6-yr old loved this!

We just discovered Audible books and have been looking for something suitable for long car rides or times when my children don’t feel like reading. This book is great. It’s silly and funny. My daughter was laughing out loud at times. Plan to listen to the other books in this series.

Funny!

My six-year-old daughter loved this story! She laughed and tried to answer the questions the teacher had asked. Cute story.
