Stuart Goes to School by: Sara Pennypacker
This book really confused me. I felt like I did not know what was happening half of the time and then I could not figure out what was real and what was made up. I think that this book may be confusing for a child just starting to read chapter books. Also, after our discussion in class about this book I think it would be a good idea to read "Stuart's Cape," the first book in the Stuart series, so that the reader has background knowledge of Stuart and the powers of his cape. This is a book that I can definitely see in my classroom library because I think that children would enjoy reading it, but it may be a little too confusing to read aloud.

My mistake, Jessica, was having read the first in the series and assuming b/c of that knowledge that the story would make sense to others who have not read the first title. But you're absolutely correct: if I am going to have my students read it, I will have them read the books in order, so there will be no confusion.
