Book 2 of #ThrowbackReadathon. Eddie is definitely that kid that always ruined really good field trips because they're too ~cool~

This one should have been fun, but Eddie was really distracting. He kind of took the fun out of everything by being so annoying and complaining about work. Especially in their last mission, they didn't even get a chance to have fun. Neither did the other kids because the group had a plan to keep Jeepers at Bailey Elementary.

Their teacher was probably just really interested in space, I don't understand why she can't have interests. It's like, you show any sort of interest in anything, and you're some type of monster.4

I just didn't have much fun with this one.

I love that the author gives activities and opportunity for fun and creating. Baking recipe for cookies, smoothie recipe for astronauts in training!

The collection of "The adventures of the Bailey School Kids" stories are among my all-time favorite children's books. Witty, mischievous and fun, these short and silly books continue to bring giggles to the young and old. Just as I have enjoyed them as a kid, my own children also love them today. I even catch myself re-reading them (alone) from time to time. What can I say? I guess I'll always be a BSK kid at heart.

A silly series that creates more questions than it answers. It's great for formulating theories as well as predictions. The class dynamics should be very familiar to those of the Magic School Bus generation.

It had some really good details and Mrs. Jeepers was a vampire. SHe was trying to take over the blast camp, which trains people if they want to go to outer space.

I loved the book. Its cool that they got to go to space, and I really like the book I think that you will too.

Another fun Bailey School kids tale. Mrs. Jeepers takes the class on a trip to a space camp. Of course, the kids suspect she will turn the scientists at camp into vampires. Fun and imaginative.
