Pictures Tell Our Story,
By Linda H Telford (Long Island, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ants in His Pants: Absurdities and Realities of Special Education (Paperback)
This creative book of cartoons and satire runs the gamut from "real" to "wish it wasn't so real". The cartoons portray scenes of everything from classroom life, to inclusion teams, educational wit, therapists and of course children. While exploring this book I reacted to every page! From "Oh, I know that child", to "Yes, we do that", to "Oh no, there's that parent, (child), (teacher)", to "We do look pretty silly at times!" or "Wow we're doing a great job", and much, much, more! Worth having if you work in any area of education. Wonderful to share at meetings and in-service training.
