About the Author
(writes under the alias, Lilith Silvermane) grew up in Arlington, Texas. She moved to Colorado in 1990, and then back again in 2000. She has six children that range between 16 years old to 5 months old. Five girls and one boy keep her life constantly busy, and just noisy enough to let her know they are not getting into trouble. Being a single mom she has her hands full and her one relaxation is visiting blogs from all around the blogosphere. She works outside of the home for the school district. This way her schedule is flexible enough to get to the kids if needed, but she can work for a bit of sanity, and the universal evil… Money. Suzanne had decided to start a new local and online business. After making a diaper cake for her best friends baby shower in April, she fell in love with the concept of making gifts that help people smile. Cotton Cakes will primarily be made with disposable diapers; however she will have a collection of cloth diaper cakes for those mothers who just need another nudge into cloth diapering. She donates cakes to a local hospital once a month to give to a needy/young mother. Having her oldest daughter at 18, she knows how hard it can be to be a young mother. She writes almost daily on her blog Crunchy Green Lovin’ Mom ~ crunchy green mom~ about everything from laundry, to diapers, to giveaways!

I remember my kids reading the Wayside School books when they were younger.They would talk to each other in the back seat of the car laughing over the antics and trying to explain to me the characters.
This is what I have learned:
- Bebe is the schools fastest artist.
- John only reads upside down (Not a skill I suggest telling your kid is cool, they will try it, and it’s weird)
- Sammy the new kid, who is a rat?
- Leslie who doesn’t know what to do with her toes (See, now you want to read it don’t you?)
- Mrs. Gorf who will turn you into an apple if you are late.
The school was built by mere accidental miscommunication, thirty stories, one classroom per story. Yes, it’s a huge building and between the flighty janitor, the money hungry principal and all the students it creates an interesting story.
It’s a fun book to read and it will grant you a few chuckles even as an adult. I would suggest this to be a fun after school book for your child to read during snack time, or on the weekends when it’s time for everyone to relax. It will definitely keep their attention for a while.
The Wayside School
video series is cute, more entertaining for a much younger audience than the books. So if you get both, you will keep your full range of elementary school kids happy.
