Sideways Stories from Wayside School

"This book contains thirty stories about the children and teachers at Wayside School. ... Wayside School was accidentally built sideways. It was supposed to be only one story high, with thirty classrooms all in a row. Instead it is thirty stories high, with one classroom in each story. ... [Here] there are thirty stories from the thirtieth story of Wayside School." --Introduction (viewed at Amazon as "Look inside" the 1998 Morrow hardcover, p. 9)
