Teachers Have Class: Just Ask the Kids!

''My teacher is a penguin.'' ''My teacher calls us wonder nuggets.'' ''I'd like to give my teacher new boots and a Mustang.'' More than 150 students tell all about their teachers in their own fresh, frank, and funny words in this lively book. A portrait emerges of how much a teacher means in a child’s life. Classroom-inspired art and new and vintage class pictures make this the perfect gift for any teacher you know.

''Teachers Have Class . . . Just Ask the Kids!" is a compilation of one-sentence quotes written by a diverse group of children age five to eleven, in answer to questions about their teachers. Color photographs abound in this funny and delightful book, perfect for introducing first-time elementary or middle school students to the idea that teachers are people too, and they're there to help. As an example, one answer to the question 'What's the most important thing you've learned from your teacher?' by a ten-year-old student is 'The most important thing that I learned from my teacher is to be your own best friend.'
