- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mrs. Lizzy is Dizzy is a chapter book written by Dan Gutman and illustrated by Ju Paillot! This book is part of the My Weird School Days series and all of these books have great rhyming titles such as, Mrs. Dole is Out of Control and Mr. Granite is from Another Planet. The series follows A.J. a young boy and his encounters with wacky teachers. This book is perfect for the 3rd- 4th grade (ages 7-10) reading level and to help children transition into reading chapter books. The text is big and has big line spaces. Also the each chapter is filled with great pictures and illustrations to break up the text. Another really awesome text feature in this book is the author uses footnotes, which is unique for a children’s book but great way for children to learn how to read them. For example, Gutman uses a footnote to explain the quotation “To what do we owe the pleasure of a company?”. I think it is great that Gutman introduces children to sayings that they might not know the meaning of, he does not “dumb” down the characters for the readers, instead he provides the students with the necessary tools to understand the text by themselves. Mrs. Lizzy is Dizzy is told from A.J. ‘s perspective, and a new teacher, Mrs. Lizzy, comes to teach in their school. A.J. and his friends think she is crazy. A.J. thinks that Mrs. Lizzy is so weird because she teaches them how to do things like making balloon animals and composting worms. The students want to prove that Mrs. Lizzy escaped from a mental institution so that they do not have to learn all of these useless skills, especially not during recess.

The Lockdown!
My name is A.J. and I hate school.
It was Friday, one of my favorite days of the week. Do you know why Friday is one of my favorite days? Because the next day is Saturday. And then comes Sunday. And on Saturday and Sunday there’s no school.
Yay!
My teacher is Mr. Granite. He’s from another planet, but he’s always talking about our environment.
Always recycle your plastic bottles,
Mr. Granite told us. Because plastic bottles can be made into plastic lawn furniture. And plastic lawn furniture can be made back into plastic bottles. And plastic bottles and plastic lawn furniture can be made into plastic cup holders, so you can relax and drink from a plastic bottle while you’re sitting on your plastic lawn furniture. And plastic…
Mr. Granite didn’t get the chance to finish his sentence because at that very moment the school secretary, Mrs. Patty, made an announcement over the loudspeaker.
Attention,
she said, Dr. Emer is in the building.
Dr. Emer is in the building!
shouted Michael, who never ties his shoes.
Dr. Emer is in the building!
shouted Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn’t food.
Dr. Emer is in the building!
shouted Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes.
Dr. Emer is in the building!
shouted Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair who I hate.
Everybody was freaking out!
Who’s Dr. Emer?
I asked.
‘Emer’ is short for ‘emergency,’ Arlo!
said Andrea. (She calls me by my real name because she knows I don’t like it.) You probably weren’t paying attention when they told us about Dr. Emer.
"I wasn’t paying attention to your face," I told Andrea.
It’s a lockdown, A.J.!
said Ryan. "That’s what
