Overview

Welcome to Milbrook School: Book One, Chaos Too! brings to us the magic of that wonderful, quirky place that exists in childhood if we are lucky and in our dreams if we are not. Retired principal, Mark Brown, and illustrator, Dave Allred remind us what a school should be, warts and all. (Perhaps there will even be actual warts in book two) Milbrook School is that place that we love, not in spite of but because of its quirkiness. What fun is there in a school without a mad scientist, an absent-minded teacher, and an occasional homework rebellion? Second through fifth graders will certainly love to read and share stories about bad food, terrifying kindergarteners, and an ogre of a principal. At the same time, the stories remind kids in a humorous way that staff have lives outside of the classroom, that the rich boy may be lonely, and that the principal's scariness can be defeated with laughter. This book is a perfect combination of raucousness and more profound moments of friendship guaranteed to attract reluctant readers. As wonderful as this book is for kids to read by themselves, it is even better as a read-aloud. The delightful rhymes and pictures will have parents and teachers laughing aloud with their audience, and perhaps, just perhaps, this book will remind some folks that schools are more than test-prep centers. They are where our children laugh, scheme, learn, and play.
