Review
Bobby’s teacher stomps, roars and takes away recess. She must be a monster, without a doubt. Everything changes, however, the day Bobby goes to the park and sees Miss Kirby sitting down on a bench. Perhaps it is the perfect chance to see her in a different light. Bobby will find out that you should never judge a book by its cover, and his teacher could be nice after all.
This book constitutes a great resource for those children who don’t like their teachers and have prejudices, it encourages empathy and openness. A great book to start the course for the little ones and also a fun one when Halloween is approaching…
