What a lovely and entertaining book. I love reading lighthearted and fun experiences. The concept is interesting and definitely worth reading. Innocent kids saying silly things is comical. Let's just cherish those moments before their minds get contaminated by brain rot contents. Thank you for a nice review.

'Official Review: What Did They Say?: Observations from Eighth-Grade Students' by Todd Sherman has an interesting introduction. It is saturated with amusement. This compilation of quotes from children spans many classes and kids over a few years. Readers will get caught up in the funny, sometimes sarcastic, and often off-the-wall things the kids say. The author is a caring teacher and a person. It was great to learn that the book can be read by anyone who wants some comic relief in an easy-to-read book!

'What Did They Say' by Todd Sherman is a delightful book! I have only read the sample pages which was three chapters, but I know this is a good one. The author writes so well, his words seem to just flow onto the page. You will get some good laughs from this book.

Teenagers, in general, say the weirdest things. This teacher had an amazing reputation with his kids as being funny and enjoyable. His sample was easy to read and funny; I am glad he always made a point of not embarrassing the kids because other kids can be cruel at that age, and image is a big thing with them. It is good he could get them to laugh and enjoy attending his class. Great review.
:eusa-think: Teach a child to read, and they can go anywhere and be anything within the pages of a book.

Oh my goodness, yes, absolutely. Eighth graders are so off-the-wall. There's a tiktoker who makes videos about things that their teens say. It has me cackling.

The book consists of a collection of quotes from kids from a variety of classes and years. His personality is revealed by the fact that his now-adult children still communicate with him.
Anyone looking for simple reading material with some comedy relief should read this book. Wonderful BOTD.

The review is engaging and expressive. What do young teens say? The book seems to be interesting and shows us the impressions of eighth grade children from their perspective. It's nice that someone cares enough about what children say to write a book about it. Congrats on BOTD

This is an interesting and entertaining book, but this is not one I am interested in reading. I do not have children, so stories about them are not something I care about.
