I thought this book was cute and funny, even though I am not a teacher! It reminded me that teachers are people too, as so often students forget just as kids forget that their parents were once young. I love that I can pick this book up anytime and read a short story to cheer me up or make me laugh. The stories are from both new and experienced teachers so you get to see both ends of the spectrum. It also covers good and bad kids, funny and embarrassing moments, and stories of bonding.
Not all of the stories are funny at first, but they do make you smile and are inspirational. One of my favorite stories is called "The White Car," and is about a teacher who accidentally hit a 9 year old boy who later ended up in her high school classroom! (They joked and bonded that year.) I think this book would make an especially great gift for any teacher, but then again I enjoyed it as a mom!
I received this book to review, but it is 100% my opinion.
