Does anybody remember the book from when they were younger?

I kinda wanna see it because as a kid, I loved the books. But it probably isn't very good. It would be interesting to see it on stage. It closes in 6 days. Has anybody heard of it or has seen it?

OMG I wish I had heard about this sooner! I do remember the book (and now will have to see if I still have it somewhere!) and it was funny! I actually went to a Wayside Elementry School when I was younger which is why my parents had bought it for me and part of why I loved it. My sister and I are actually leaving for Florida Wed. and won't be back til Sunday so we will miss it. If you see it, let me know how it was!

I read those books YEARS ago...one part that sticks out in my mind is when the principal told students going down the stairs to go down on the right, and students going up to go up on the left, totally reminding me of my school's idiotic principal.

*sigh* Good times, gooood times.

I remember the kid who couldn't count right. He counted all out of order but always ended on the right number.

I remember the chapter where all it said was that there was no ____ story (13th?) and therefore there is no _____ (13th?) chapter. Cracked me up every time. And wasn't there one about the playground equipment? Man, it has probably been fifteen years since I read that book. Long enough that I didn't even know there were more after the first one!

I remember the one where they made ice cream flavors of themselves and everyone thought everyone was delicious except for themselves, because they couldn't taste themselves because it was just what they were used to tasting.

And how Rondi's nonexistent 2 front teeth were the prettiest teeth ever.
