The most vivid memories I have of elementary school are being in my school's library.  I wish I knew the exact number of times I checked out Sideways Stories from Wayside School because it was one of my favorites.  A huge reason why it was one of my favorites was because it had a character named Dana who wore glasses, like me.  Luckily, I eventually bought my own copy!

In an effort to reread books I already own, I chose Sideways Stories from Wayside School as my children's classic.  I am happy to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my reread.  Maybe it was more nostalgia than anything else but there were still stories that made me laugh.  I was surprised at how many I still remembered.

While there were more books in the series, and apparently a new one that came out recently, nothing beats the original one!
