The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School
by Candace Fleming
Nobody wanted to be the teacher of the soon-to-be fourth graders at Aesop Elementary School. They were notorious for their bad behavior. Just when school principal Mrs. Struggles was giving up hope of finding them a teacher, Mr. Jupiter arrives on the last day of school. Full of unusual teaching credentials, including a job as a translator for Bigfoot, he is awarded the job after admitting he attended Aesop as a fifth grader. Can he handle the infamous class that no one else wanted?
Similar to Louis Sachar's
Wayside School series,
The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School humorously tells the stories of the different students and teachers at Aesop, including librarian Paige Turner who transforms herself soon after meeting Mr. Jupiter. Keeping with the fable theme, most chapters end with a moral. This funny book is a great choice for readers looking for a humorous story and will also work well as a read aloud.
