Ms. Hannah is Bananas is the 4th book in the "My Weird School" series.  It was a cute book about a group of second grade kids and their new art teacher, Ms. Hannah. Ms. Hannah is very eclectic and completely opposite of the former art teacher. A.J. decides he HATES art but in the end he feels differently. The language in this book was a little unnerving for my kids. Many times words like stupid, hate and dumb head are used. It does give a good story line if two children who detest each other learning to get along and is a good concept book in tolerance and trying things you don't like. I would recommend it, it kept my attention along with the kids! Good read.
