Whitney is about to start Kindergarten so we have started reading books that don't have pictures.  The Wayside School was one of our first books for this task.  The school was built with one class on each story of a thirty story building.  Originally the design was to build a one story school with thirty classes but something went terribly wrong. 

The chapters are about each student in the class on the thirtieth floor.  All the stories are relatively wacky but there are a few with some off color humor.  Those were the ones that I had to either change the story or just skip all together.  This was a book I remember reading when I was a kid.  It was a lot of fun reading it to Whitney and she especially liked it when I made up voices for the different people.

We are on to bigger books now and have recently started "The Jungle Book".  It is very long but does have a few pretty pictures.
