Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers.... But this lunch lady does and they are heart-shaped.
That's what I really liked about this one, the food. Everything from the heart-shaped burgers to the heart-shaped cookies to the heart-shaped hearts. Also, things are heart-shaped.
February 2015 Reread Review:
I recently picked this book up again for a Valentine’s read. To be honest, this is probably my favorite Baily School Kids book. There’s something about the feeling of nostalgia I get while reading them that immediately brings me back to third grade, and all of the heart-shaped food is still somehow mesmerizing in a very “texture counts as much as flavor” kinda way.
In honor of Mrs. Rosenbloom, who may be a cupid for all we know, I share this recipe I found for
Red Velvet Gooey Butter Chocolate Chip cookies as a more indulgent alternative to her iced sugar cookies.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone :) -
I was so excited when I was able to find this book on Ebay for about $3. I'm currently in my 20s but I clearly remember reading these books around 8 or 9 and absolutely loved them. There's always something strange going on at Bailey Elementary and this time the kids suspect their new lunch lady is cupid. Everyone is falling in love all over the place, even their strange teacher Mrs. Jeepers, who has rumored to be a vampire. Follow the kids on an exciting adventure as they strive to get things back to normal and save everyone from falling in love. ECKK!
Although these books don't creep me out as much as they did when I was younger, it's still a wonderful short read if you need to take a break in between novels or want to take a trip down memory lane like I did. Highly recommended. Even for adults! -
Awkward adolescent crushes, heart-shaped food, love potions, more Mrs. Jeepers, sorta' kinda' love triangle but not really... this Bailey School Kids is a trip! But it's also very good. So read it.

was going through my old books and stumbled across this one! sooooo nostalgic ✨
-
Not a fan of the ones that are not as creepy, and I thought the resolution to this one was ridiculous and more farfetched than the premise.
-
In this book, for the first time Eddie actually helps solve the problem!

Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers begins with Eddie throwing things at this girl being a bully and all ,but not getting in trouble because his teacher, Mrs Jeepers doesn't see it. After this Mrs Jeepers informs the kid to make Valentines for there new cook Mrs Roseenbloom. they go to the cafeteria to discover it's been decorated with all kinds of hearts and other valentine themed things. Here they meet Mrs Roseenbloom, who tells the kids she loves Valentines Day. We get an incredible line of duologue from Eddie who says he hates Valentines Day or something. Mrs Roseenbloom over hears Eddie talking about wanting to get rid of all this gross stuff (I'm with ya man ). The girl at the beginning of the book Eddie is throwing things at is seen getting a heart pin on her shirt and after this it seems Carry is in love with Eddie. Eyelash batting and all. this is where the story gets pretty repetitive .Every student or staff member that gets a heart pin and a cookie ends up liking somebody. Even Mrs Jeepers gets it. Eddie comes up with the solution that Mrs Roseenbloom is putting love potion in the food. This continues with the whole school including melody and Liza getting to the point that they fight over Howie. that's pretty much the plot of this book. This was one of the weaker books in the series so far it just seemed like an excuse for a Valentine themed book in the series .I know this book is targeted for a really younger audience, but I can honestly say without hesitating I would not have liked this as a kid its definitely below average not to mention the resolution to how all this is fixed is random I give Cupid Doesn't Flip Hamburgers a 2 out of 5 stars.

Something strange starts happening at Bailey Elementary School when the new lunch lady Mrs. Rosenbloom begins to hand out heart-shaped cookies and pins to students and teachers. Suddenly, it seems like everyone starts to fall in love. Eddie and Howie are the only ones seemingly untouched by the love potions, and they must find a way to snap everyone out of it.
Sending love to:
💌 Valentine’s Day, and all of the cute decorations that Mrs. Rosenbloom covers the cafeteria in (even the trashcan is dressed up with hearts!)
💌 Mrs. Rosenbloom’s fit: a red dress, her bright red lip, and fluffy reddish-blonde hair. She’s accessorized with dangling red heart earrings and hot pink painted nails with little white arrows on them.
💌 Eddie and Howie working together to tackle the problem with utterly disgusting cookies made from a mixture of everything in the fridge.
💌 The awkwardness of Mrs. Jeepers, the kids’ teacher, and the assistant principal openly flirting. Major *scringe*.

This one was funny. It was quite a change, I think from the other books. I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day, so I would have been under Mrs. Rosenbloom's spell. But it was such a cute little spell.
Having kids and teachers running around being all in love and everything. I even laughed when Eddie took one for the team and sacrificed himself to get his gross anti-love potion in the cookie dough batch. Howie had it the worst though, so obviously it had to be stopped.
I guess it's a good thing no one remembered being in love, it probably would have been really embarrassing otherwise.
It was so much fun to read though, I just loved it. -
I got this in a Scholastic Book Fair as a child. Saw the title again one day and decided to re-read it.
It succeeds well at its goal, which is to be a quick fun read for kids, and hopefully inspire future reading. Growing up in a library, this was my first junk book: easy to read, pure entertainment, zero literary value. An exact written embodiment of a piece of Halloween (or Valentine's!) candy. -
The new lunch lady of Bailey Elementary is putting a ton of love into everything she cooks - so much love, in fact, that the third graders think she may actually be Cupid in disguise! Dadey will charm fans with this hearty entry!
-
Oh these books remind me of elementary school scholastic book fairs. The new lunch lady is using some sort of love potion in the cookies! Only Howie is the last one standing and must take back the school from this love bug nonsense. B

Loved this book as a kid.
-
A cute read
-
Fun early elementary read. My second grader really enjoyed the story
-
For some reason this book has been on my mind a LOT these past few weeks - to the point where I had to borrow a copy from the library.
-
Another cute one!
-
Cupid flips hamburgers ! I loved the food in this book heart shaped food who else dose that ?edie is craze why dose he not like the hart shaped food? I love the Bailey school kids!

The students at Bailey school are in for a treat when they get a new cafeteria lady. Many of the students decide she must be Cupid due to the heart snapped cookies and the children falling in love. Read the story to find out if they can save the students before they all fall in love.
This book is great for students that are just starting to read chapter books. This story is apart of a series that are about students thinking their teachers are Cupid, vampires, werewolves and many other creatures. I will defiantly have a few of these books in my classroom library for students to choose from. I would not actually use this book as a lesson. -
This is the twelfth book in the
The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series. We've only read a few of them so far, but our oldest really likes them. We won't likely read these books in order, but it doesn't seem to matter much. It's a fun story and we like the fact that all of the strange characters may or may not be the "monsters" they are portrayed to be. And this one has a fun theme about love. We are looking forward to reading more books in this series. -
Obviously, this tale doesn’t involve much in the way of scary things or monsters. The school cafeteria has a new cook, who shows an obsession with all things heart-shaped, and soon applies it to the cafeteria. They also suspect her of putting some sort of love potion into the lunches---as soon as “Cupid” starts her new career, people begin getting the most unlikely crushes---even Eddie and Mrs. Jeepers. Eventually, Eddie and Howie devise a plan to put a stop to all this strange love stuff.
Funny, easy to read. -
The collection of "The adventures of the Bailey School Kids" stories are among my all-time favorite children's books. Witty, mischievous and fun, these short and silly books continue to bring giggles to the young and old. Just as I have enjoyed them as a kid, my own children also love them today. I even catch myself re-reading them (alone) from time to time. What can I say? I guess I'll always be a BSK kid at heart.

I think that Lucy will really like this series. The only thing I don't like is how one dimensional and stereotypical the students are. Whats wrong with making them a little more complex? I think the writing is at the right age group though. Even third graders who are slightly behind in reading should be able to enjoy this series. This particular book was about cupid and it changed cupid into a loveable round woman. And interesting change.

The Bailey School Kids is a best-selling children's book series by Marcia Thornton Jones and Debbie Dadey. Its main characters are a group of four children (Eddie, Howie, Liza, Melody) who suspect some persons in the stories are popular folk lore or fairy tale characters. They are appealing because they mix a familiar story in with this group of kids. Mid-grammar school

I liked this book because Carrie was the first one to fall in love with Eddie and I liked that, it made me laugh. Then the meanest kid in school, Ben, bumped into Carrie and Eddie helped her because he fell in love.
