(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin O'Malley. O'Malley's personable caricatures continue to enhance the Miss Malarkey series; here the teacher nervously prepares the students for a big school-ranking test. There are funny details--the principal is obsessed with No. 2 pencils and loses his toupee; the gym teacher teaches yoga for stress reduction; the lunch lady serves "brain food," such as fish--but the subversive humor is aimed mostly at adults.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
