I thought this book was cute. Because it is 80 pages, I would classify this book as an early reader. This book proves that because we tend to over think things and take stereotypes seriously, sometimes without realizing we are doing it, we can judge people without giving them a chance, which is exactly the case for this book. This book is basically about people judging him because he is green and scary, but eventually realize he really isn't like that. This book was okay in my opinion. It was cute, but it is defiantly more for younger kids rather than a freshman in college. I would recommend this book for teachers to read to their class or kids around 8 or 9 years old. Not only because it is an early reader, but also because of the word choices as well as the hidden message. There is diversity in this book because of Frankenstein being different than the rest of the 'normal' kids or adults in the school/town. The characters grow into less judgmental people by the end of the book.

This one was just really not good, it was repetitive not just because they've reused the Frankenstein character over and over but because the story amounts to them just repeating the premise over and over. How many ways do you need to say I think he's trying to turn us into monsters...and then the book just kind of ends. To be fair if I was on book 47 of a formulaic series it's understandable to be phoning it in at this point.

I love the Frank books.

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.

The Bailey School Kids is a best-selling children's book series by Marcia Thornton Jones and Debbie Dadey. Its main characters are a group of four children (Eddie, Howie, Liza, Melody) who suspect some persons in the stories are popular folk lore or fairy tale characters. They are appealing because they mix a familiar story in with this group of kids. Mid-grammar school

I enjoyed reading this book. It was amusing to see how wild the kids imaginations were. The main characters seemed like really close friends. They also tended to make completely outrageous statements which made the book interesting.

This book has a lot of funny moments. There are some parts in this book were if you reading in your head you would start laughing out loud

My students and I learned that our overactive imaginations and stereotypes can mislead us to make false judements about others.
