Any class but the noisy class will do! A young girl is about to enter the third grade, but this year she's put into Ms. Johnson's noisy class. Everything about the noisy class is odd. While all the other classes are quiet, Ms. Johnson sings and the kids chatter all day. The door is always closed, yet sounds from it can be heard in the hallway. With summer coming to an end and school starting, the girl realizes that soon she'll be going to the noisy class. What will school be like now? Featuring the honest and delightful humor of debut author Angela Shanté and the bold, graphic imagery of debut illustrator Alison Hawkins, The Noisy Classroom encourages those with first-day jitters to reevaluate a scary situation by looking at it from a different angle and to embrace how fun school can be, even in nontraditional ways.

You know the classroom at the end of the hall? The one with the tall teacher? And the Pain-In-The-Neck who likes to write his name on the blackboard in snot? Yeah, well, weird stuff has been going on down the hall . . . . First of all, when Roger was cleaning the erasers, out billowed a huge cloud of chalk dust--and a chalk dust genie! And when the genie granted the Roger's wish to be the teacher of the class, Roger got more than he bargained for. Namely, he got himself--Roger--disturbing the class and making everyone, even himself, miserable. And Kenneth--that kid who hates reading? Well, he found a book that can tell his future. But he has to read it to find out what's going to happen. . . . Not to mention what happened to Rosalie, who always copies answers off of other kids' papers. Something was bugging her. A doodlebug. It just crawled into her ear and started telling her the answers to all of her schoolwork. It looked like she was never going to have to cheat again, until Mr. Leeks exterminated the classroom at the end of the hall. Then Rosalie was on her own . . . . The nine laugh-out-loud funny tales in this zany collection teach valuable lessons about teaching, learning, and life in a third-grade classroom.
