I would suggest anyone read this.

This is a good book as it is funny. My favourite teacher was Mr and Mrs Lovey Dovey, their story was about how they cried about their love and created an ocean.

There are multiple stories in this book and each story is about a teacher. The stories are all unique, but they all have in common teachers that are very mean and very bad. For example, in one of them, the teacher created a long list of punishments for people who borrowed books or were in the library and were not behaving properly. I recommend this book and all the other written by David Walliams, because they are all well written and funny.

David Walliams's books are always awesome. I was so focused on the book when I was reading about the terrible, horrible, no good teachers. I wonder if there were actually teachers like those.

I have listened to this audiobook a lot of times because it is really funny. Chapter 10 is my favourite with Mr Bulk/ The Incredible Bulk, especially when it says "a million sausage rolls later he was ginormous"!! I definitely recommend this book!

This was so funny, I almost fell out of my bed laughing!
Whatever you do, don't read it in bed. You will be up all night laughing!

For fans of Walliams, this is a must see (or must read)

Overall, 10/10!

I liked the chapter about Miss Spick because I liked the part where the Twizzle twins put some rocket boosters on her trike and when she turned it on she was blasted into outer space. I would recommend this book as it’s a very funny read.

An amazing book it was hilarious and my chapter favourite chapter was the one about miss conceit she was an art teacher who only cared about herself and in art classes they were only allowed to paint pictures of her in the end the children tricked her into actually be inside the stature.

It is pretty gruesome, in my perspective, though i know that it's supposed to be like that. I enjoy this book very much and will recommend this to young ages.
