About book Mr. Macky Is Wacky! (2006)

Dan Gutman’s Mr. Macky Is Wacky (My Weird School series) is vintage Gutman: funny, fast paced, and sure to appeal to reluctant readers. Gutman should know. In his foreword to the 2012 edition of the Renaissance Learning report What Kids Are Reading, Gutman writes: As a reluctant reader myself, I relate to those kids. I know what bores them, and what holds their interest. They want short sentences. Short chapters. Dialog. Few adjectives. They’d rather use their imagination than read a paragraph of description. They want one sentence to lead naturally to the next one, rather than jump from subject to subject. They want a chapter to end in a way that makes them want to know what happens next.Mr. Macky Is Wacky has all that and plenty of humor of this kind: “We were having fun learning about our crazy pets. But guess who suddenly walked into the door? Nobody! Because if you walked into a door, you would hurt your head.” President’s Day is coming to A.J.’s Ella Mentry School and that means inevitable chaos. Neil the nude kid’s pet ferret is voted president of the school and when students are asked to pick a US president for an oral report, A.J. works hard on what he knows will be a brilliant presentation—or will it? As usual, Gutman supplies a surprise ending. Dan Gutman has written more than a hundred books for children, many of which have won awards. Mr. Macky Is Wacky is rated by Renaissance Learning’s AR BookFinder as suitable for children at a Grade 3 reading level (3.9 level).

I recently just finished this book written by Dan Gutman. I enjoyed this book because it is humorous. It is about a boy who is named A.J. and he goes to a school that is pretty crazy. But today is really crazy, it is Presidents day! SO today they have to elect a president to run for their school. A lot of the teachers then dress up as a president and go into their classroom and talk about why they should be president for their school. I liked this humorous book and would recommend it if you like humorous books.

Mr. Macky was Wacky because he would read any and everything,reading is something everyone has to learn to do, but who walks around holding a can of soup reading the lable. When AJ ask Mr. Macky what was his favorite move he said Star Wars, he liked the beginning of the movie when the words scroll up the screen, now tell me that's not wacky. Mr. Macky came to AJ class dress up as Abraham Lincoln to teach them about the president's. They had to do a oral report on their favorite president, and talk about it on the day after President's Day in class. Mr. Macky's said his favorite president was Millard Fillmore, he kept writing his name on the black board in different way's like Fillard Millmore, Moremill Fillard, Lardfill Moremill, I told you Mr. Macky was Wacky. And who didn't know the color of the White House, Mrs. Dasiey she said the it was blue, how did she become a teacher, as AJ would say dumhead. This was the first time I had to read so many books for school on my summer vacation, but I enjoyed reading them with my mother. As you can see my favorite books were the werid school collection, they were funny me and my mom laughed a lot.

I thought it mr. macky is wacky was ok it's just that it talks about mr. macky expecting A.j and is friends' to read and he thinks worst of all, he has to read about the presidents of the united states'. A.j can't believe he actually HAS to read about the presidents. Also mr. macky is ACTING like abraham lincoln. Also a.j and his friends are required to dress up as their favorite president. they think it will be easy at first but when they do this stuff, but the day it comes up they think it's hard to be a president.
