Third Grade Angels Review: Awesome, Awesome, Awesome book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I love this book! Suds, the main character, reminds me of myself in school. We both work hard in school to be kind and hit our goals at school. Suds is determined to get his halo in class by being the most kind. For example, he holds the door open for both girls and boys. He picks up trash and does other good deeds as well. The book is very funny especially in the part where way they all say, "First grade babies, second grade cats; third grade angels and fourth grade rats!" There are parts that are very funny like believing the teacher has "spies" and other things like that. And, it has a surprising ending!! It did not end the way I thought it would, but it still had a great turn out. I think you should read this book!!! It was AMAZING!! ~Andilyn, 4th grade ~edited review by the "Dad" Review: The Book I Read Aloud Every Single Year—And My Students Beg for the Sequel - I have read Third Grade Angels to my 3rd graders every single year, and without fail, they are completely hooked. This is one of those rare books that is laugh-out-loud funny, emotionally real, and packed with social-emotional learning without ever feeling preachy. Suds thinks third graders are supposed to be “angels”—and his teacher, Mrs. Simms, makes it official with a monthly Halo Award for the best-behaved student. Sounds great… until Suds realizes that being “perfect” is way more stressful than it looks. The questions this book raises are pure gold for kids: Does being good only count if a teacher sees it? Do good deeds still matter at home? What if you try to be good but mess up? My students deeply relate to Suds—his anxiety, his overthinking, his little-sister struggles, and his big heart. This book sparks the best classroom discussions about: Integrity Kindness when no one’s watching Peer pressure Being human instead of perfect Why It’s Perfect for 3rd Grade ✔️ Engaging, fast-moving chapters ✔️ Relatable school setting ✔️ Humor that kids actually get ✔️ Strong SEL without heavy lecturing ✔️ Great for ages 8–10 And yes—there’s a sequel, Fourth Grade Rats, and it’s just as good. My students always cheer when I tell them there’s another book coming next year. 🐀😄 If you’re a teacher, parent, counselor, or homeschool family looking for a book that: ✅ Builds character ✅ Creates meaningful conversation ✅ Keeps kids laughing ✅ And feels truly authentic This one belongs on your shelf. Timeless. Funny. Heartfelt. Classroom gold. 💛📚 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #8,066 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #180 in Children's School Issues #188 in Children's Beginner Readers #360 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,293) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 0.5 x 7.5 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 2 - 5 | | ISBN-10 | 0545387736 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0545500753 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | July 29, 2014 | | Publisher | Arthur A.
