Motorcycles and the Beach
I like Sea Monsters Don`t Ride Motorcycles because it takes place at the beach. And I like it at the beach. And I like motorcycles too. by Will (age 7)

GREAT BOOK
It was very entertaining. I always like it when they are going to solve the mystery when the weird adult leaves and they can't finish the mystery.

Entertaining but getting old, predictable
Once again the Baily School Kids Melody, Eddie, Howie, and Liza have found that they have a pretty wierd adult in Baily City, and it just turns out to be their ecology project coordinator. Mr. Bunyip is definitely strange. He says he comes from Australia and he came to the United States because people were overcrowding his space. Plus he chases wild turkeys!! Melody knows somethings up again so she does some research and comes up with the conclusion that Mr. Bunyip is a swamp monster. Well, once again that Baily School Kids are out to save Baily City and this time in a ecological way too by cleaning Swamp Dread! However will cleaning be the only way to drive out Mr. Bunyip? Read to find out!!!

These Baily School Kids books are quite entertaining and still give me a few laughs. However these books are definitely getting more predictable and the plot lines are practically the same in all the books with just different monsters. I have been reading these books for 4 years and I still find them to be entertaining at times but I usually only read them if I have a lot of spare time. To sum it up: Still not a bad read for a cold dreary day!!! Especially would be good for little kids cause I think part of the reason I am not that interested in them anymore is because I am much older now!

GREAT BOOKS!
The Bailey City School books are great! You'll love them! Also, be sure to check out the other books and book series by the same authors - Barkley's School For Dogs - Bailey City Monsters - Triplett Trouble. They're great, too!

One of the best books I've read!
This one kept me laughing.

Do Ghosts Eat Potato Chips?
This book is about a boy named Eddie and his friends Howie, Lisa

and Melody who have to help take care of his great aunt

Malthida. They do not want to do it because they think she is

mean. She is sick and Eddie's Grandma wants him to help her out.

The first day they got to her house they bring her some food

to eat that Eddie's Grandma had made for her. On that day that

they went, Howie who likes to eat potato chips saw a ghost in

the window of Aunt Mathilda's house. Eddie told his friend that

there is no such thing as ghosts.

The next day all the kids went back to Aunt Mathilda's house

to bring her some more lunch to eat. It was cold so they had to

warm it up for her. While lunch was heating up Aunt Mathilda and

the kids played poker. She played really good. They played to

long that lunch burned. Since lunch had burned they got her some

fast food for lunch. Some potato chips came with her lunch and

while they sat at the table eating and talking the potato chips

disappeared. When they got back to her house they gave her the

lunch and she said she liked it. While the kids were there she

got sick and had to go to the hospital.

While Aunt Mathilda was in the hospital the kids went to the

house to prove that there is no such thing as ghosts. The

electricity went out because of a storm so they couldn't see

very well in the attic. They saw a big trunk that looked like a

coffin. The kids all opened it at the same time and found Uncle

Jasper's hat and what else do you think they found? You will

have to read this book to find out what they find.

I really did like this book because I like Bailey School Kids

books.

And if you want to now what happens you will have to BUY the book.

I realy did like the book because I like the Baily School Kids books.

Booo!! (crunch, crunch...)
Unusual occurrences are becoming...well, *usual* in and around Bailey School. The third grade has a vampire for a teacher. A werewolf is the local camp counselor, and even Santa Claus has put in an appearance as the elementary school's custodian. So, should it really be ALL that odd to find a potato chip-munching ghost at Aunt Matilda's house??

Eddie & the gang are back in this, the 5th installment of the Bailey School Kids series. This time Eddie's old Aunt Matilda is at home sick and Eddie's mom has sent him over to tend to her. In addition to being a very grumpy, demanding old woman, her house appears to be haunted! Weird noises come from the creaky old attic, food left lying out is mysteriously eaten though no one is around, Aunt M. herself talks to her dead husband, potato chips fall to the ground and spell out mysterious words... Just what IS going on around here?? IS there a ghost in the attic??

Unlike the other Bailey School Kids books where the supernatural creature has a main role (vampire as teacher, leprechaun as basketball coach, etc), the ghost is not one of the main characters and seems to occupy the fringe of the story. This adds a note of realism to this series and makes it much more like a traditional ghost story (that is, creepy!). While not as outright scary as other books in the intermediate horror/spooky genre, "Ghosts Don't..." is a departure from the more-amusing-than-scary books preceding this one. I still wouldn't classify it as "horror" fiction, because while it does get creepy sometimes, it's hardly horrifying.

It's an easy read and catchy series. As an adult, I can finish off a Bailey School Kids book in about 20 minutes and have found myself working my way steadily through the series (reviewing most along the way). They're fun and quick, and hence even children and students who don't usually read find themselves easily reading them cover-to-cover.

Easy to read!
This was the first Bailey School Kids book that my son and I read together. He is in the 3rd grade and found this pretty easy to read. We both enjoyed it and will be reading more Bailey School Kids books in the future.

I found this books content inappropriate for young children.
My daughter brought this book home and the title made me curious, so I read it. The storyline of this book is disjointed, the content is utterly ridiculous and serves only to insult the intelligence of young readers. Under the guise of fiction/mystery literature this book is laden with occult symbolisms aimed directly at the unsuspecting minds of young children . All in all, I find this to be more appropriate reading for 5th grade and up.

Dragons Don't Cook Pizza
The name of this book is Dragons Don't Cook Pizza and the authors are Debbie Dadey and Marcia Jones.

The book was awesome! Even though it's for kids younger kids than I am, I still read it.
The best part in the book is when they all work together to figure out the riddle.
The worst part was when Eddie didn't think that Dragons existed.

This book was cool, funny and exciting.
I hope whoever likes to read picks out this book and enjoys it, because it's worth your while.

Dragon's Don't Cook Pizza
Four third grade kids named Howie,Melody,Eddie,and Liza. They always have a mystery to solve. There are lots of books in this series. They are all good. In this book, the 3rd grade class went on a field trip to a bakery. They think something is very fishy. They come back that night and tryed to figure out the case out. Is the man who cooks the pizza a dragon? I like these books because they are mysteries and you get relly exited about the mystery.

Cool Review
This is a ok book but I don't think that it is very realistic and it is kind of stupid. Thank You

I think all baily school Kids books are great so is this one
I review this book Giants Don't Go Snowboarding would seem like a good book since i've read alot of these kinds of books from Baily School Kids collecten. These are really injoyable books to read. I would reccomend this book to people who like adventures.

GOOD BOOK!
This book was really cool! I liked it best when Hugh Mongus threw giant snowballs at the kids and when they helped him figure out a way stay out of trouble. It made me want to read all the other Bailey School Kids books by Marcia Thornton Jones.
