Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots (The Bailey School Kids #1)
Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots (The Bailey School Kids #1) | Debbie Dadey, Marcia Thornton Jones
26 posts | 21 read
The hugely popular early chapter book series re-emerges -- now in e-book! The kids in the third grade at Bailey Elementary are so hard to handle that all of their teachers have quit. But their new teacher, Mrs. Jeepers, is different to say the least. She's just moved from the Transylvanian Alps and she seems to have some strange powers that help her deal with these mischief-makers. Her methods may be a little unconventional, but, then again, Mrs. Jeepers may be just what the Bailey School kids need.

Todays update for #scarathlon I‘ve been a bit busy but still got a few things going! I want to finish up a few reads this week!

MatchlessMarie Thanks for reminding me that the Ghosts Don‘t Eat Potato Chips graphic novel released last month. Totally forgot to preorder! 13mo
Ash.on.the.line @MatchlessMarie awesome! I didn‘t know they had been adapted to graphic novels, so it was fun to discover! 13mo

I was not big fan of the plot of the story. The way it was formatted and the pictures were great and it made the story flow very nicely but the plot just was not very interesting and not much happened so I cant see it keeping a students attention. The ending was also very anticlimactic. I could see the author was trying to keep it vague so the reader can guess the ending but it wasn't done great.

This book was very interesting. The images and way the book was written was executed well. It is about a class who was going to get a new teacher and one student was plotting on how they were going to prank this new teacher like he as done all the other teachers. The students are encouraging him to prank the new teacher. They see the new teacher and they immediately feel uneasy. She is very scary looking and they notice somethings not right.

Here‘s my #SpookyAesthetic. I was Jughead for Halloween last year. Lost the cat in the separation but he made for some good built in holiday decor when I had him. 🐈‍⬛ 🖤 This year I am going to be Jessica Fletcher and yes I do own a shirt with that graphic on the bottom right. Love her 😆 #HauntedHollowSwap

Donation number 5 of the year in what works out as a Mrs. Jeepers outfit. If I worked here I would wear this mask everyday 😂🧛🏻‍♀️💉 Also I realized that the donation chairs they seat you in would make perfect reading chairs. 😅 I love putting my feet up when I read.

On this week‘s episode of my book podcast, I have a highly requested title (Book 1 in the Bailey School Kids series!) AND two highly requested guests — Andrew and Craig from Overdue Podcast! We chat about class clown behavior, ambiguous endings (really — IS the teacher a vampire?!?!), supernatural events, goldfish noises, and the transition from reading picture books to YA. ✏️ Link to listen in bio!

Decided to get a head start and post my #BFC goals for #BFCr4. I know 25 seems like a hefty goal but 24 of those are from the Bailey School Kids Series I hope to finish before the end of the challenge. I was denied from donating blood this month so I want to get my iron up in time to donate by the end of October 🧛🏻‍♀️📚 @wanderinglynn

wanderinglynn Great goals! 🙌🏻 5y

A little over a year ago I decided to re-collect my favorite series as a kid once I found out they were making new illustrations for the covers. 🙅🏻I just recently completed my collection and can't wait to start a reread of the whole series! #whatafeeling #AugustGrrrl

Purrfectpages Great choice! I have a bunch of these in my classroom. (edited) 7y
Cinfhen That's impressive 😉📚👍🏻 7y
MatchlessMarie @Purrfectpages @Cinfhen Thanks! I vividly remember being introduced to the series after seeing one of the books at a #scholastic book fair and the book came with those glow in the dark fingers that you can put on 😂 I wasn't allowed to read Goosebumps as a kid, but I devoured these 😉 7y
Cinfhen Loved those book fairs 💕💕 7y

1 & 2 of the #vampchallenge

I'm pretty sure the B. S. Kids introduced me to my first vampire. I'll nudge my kids toward this series. I'd love for them to love fantasy.

I finished the 4th book of the M. I. a few weeks ago and I'll check out the last two very soon. I like the vampires in this series- they're creepy and more old school, I think- I have not read Stoker or Rice. @freyaheart

mrsthilkey @freyaheart those books were quite suspenseful! 8y

For the #BestKids, I'm going with the Bailey School Kids. They weren't necessarily super smart, as they tended to be a tad overly superstitious, but I loved reading about them all the time when I was little. #OctPhotoChallenge
