Illustrated by Henry Cole

THIS IS THE TEACHER
Illustrated by Mike Lester
This hilarious cumulative tale in the tradition
of “The House That Jack built”
depicts a typical day at school. This is
the teacher all ready for school. These
are the students who rush through the
door and topple the teacher all ready for
school. An ant farm is tipped over, the
birthday boy slips and spills his cupcakes,
and then the class hamster escapes. . . .
Through it all, the stalwart teacher manages
to keep her cool. “The story is sure
to elicit giggles…and perhaps a bit of
sympathy for their teachers as well.”
