This series is one of my all time favorite in children's picture books. I love how the author makes references to things that students could get mixed up and rumors started. The pictures in the book were great as well and were so funny. Students really love hearing Black Lagoon books and this one was no different. This story is about a little boy who breaks out in blue dots, his teacher sends him to the nurses office. He is terrified because he has heard so many bad things about what happens when you get sent to the nurses office. He walks in and sees Freddie Jones with his eyes closed, he thinks he is dead. He goes up to the nurses desk and Miss Hearse the nurse is sitting at her desk and she looks normal. He shows her his arm with all the blue dots and Miss Hearse gently rubs it with a wet paper towel. The blue dots magically disappear, she shows him that his pen is leaking and gives him a new one. He goes back to class and writes Miss Hearse a Thank You Note with his new pen.
This book always makes me smile when I read it. I love how the author twists words around and that these things really happen in schools and students always fear the worse in teachers, nurses, principals, etc. The students loved hearing this book and they were so focused on every word, even the ones who already knew what was going to happen. This whole series is great and the students really love them.
