FREE: Martians Don't Take Temperatures (The Bailey School Kids) Paperback

The listing, Martians Don't Take Temperatures (The Bailey School Kids) Paperback has ended.

The Bailey School kids are suspicious of the new school nurse, whose bright green bandages seem to have an instant healing effect.

Strange occurences are becoming pretty, well... NORMAL at Bailey Elementary School. This time a huge dust storm blows into town, and suddenly appearing at the school is a squat, greenish-haired woman who's come to be the new nurse.
For someone who has gone to nursing school, though, she certainly doesn't seem to know much about health: first off, she seems to have forgotten that kids need to drink water!! Secondly, she has a very strange eye chart with symbols that don't resemble English letters at ALL!! Besides, what do all those weird words she says all the time really mean? You don't suppose she could be a MARTIAN, do you??
This book marks the 18th in the popular Bailey School Kids series. Each book introduces some strange sort of person who could (or maybe, could NOT) be a supernatural creature. It's a fast paced series with the gang typically throwing insults at each other, "we'd better go in before Liza sneezes her head off". Many books in the series are creepy, some are fun and silly. "Martians Don't..." lies somewhere in between. The characters are silly, but if there really IS a martian coming down to earth to invade the planet, wouldn't you be a bit wigged out??
A good choice for an intermediate reader, these books are well illustrated and the text is large and easy to read. An advanced reader (like an adult) can get through one in about 45 minutes or less, making them good choices for storytimes. Many of the books can be applied to different holidays or seasons ("Santa Claus Doesn't Mop Floors" or "Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers", for instance).
It's a fun series even for older students and children (I've read about 30 of them, most of which I've not even used in class!!) and definitely worth checking out.
