It's Sunday and poor Miss Bindergarten has come down with the flu and she won't be able to teach school tomorrow. But, not to worry, Mr Tusky, the very able substitute, is here. And with the help of the children, Adam the alligator, Brenda the beaver, Christopher the cat... and the rest of the alphabetized named class, they don't miss a thing...show and tell, drawing and painting, singing...Unfortunately, with each day, another student falls victim to the flu. That is until Friday, when everybody is back for a full day with Miss Bindergarten. On Saturday and Sunday, everyone gets to stay home, especially a very sick Mr Tusky! Joseph Slate has written a very gentle, rhyming story about the joys of kindergarten, even when the flu hits. Ashley Wolff's, expressive, detailed illustrations, compliment the story perfectly as you watch the class play, learn and even fall sick. Together, they take some of the mystery and fear out of kindergarten life. A wonderful, delightful story all kindergarteners will love and want to read again and again.

Poor Miss Bindergarten gets sick and needs to stay home. The book is just as good as the other two. The illustrations are beautiful. They are detailed and really lend themselves to discussion questions. (My students don't like me to turn the pages too quickly!) The language flows nicely with wonderful rhymes. My students love to figure out which words rhyme. I would recommend this for all primary grades.

Miss Bindergarten is a dog who teaches school to a lot of baby animals. I read this book to my four year old, and he loved it. After we were done reading the book he hugged it and smiled really big. The book is intended for an audience of 4 or 5 year olds (maybe even the first graders). There are 38 unnumbered pages in this book. This book is illustrated by Ashley Wolff, and she does a brillant job. I usually don't like to pitch authors and illustrators, but there was a lot thought and care put into these illustrations so I just have to say something about this illustrator. At this age -- illustrations are everything. We spent about 10 minutes reading this book (5 of those minutes were me trying to get to the next page). Then about 45 minutes looking at the pictures and naming the different little animals. My son wanted to look at and ask questions about each page -- very stimulating for his little mind. I highly recommend this book.

This is a very cute and well written book. We have had it for over a year and my daughter who is 3 years old still loves it.

My daughter has recently graduated her loved kindergarten. She was fascinated with two kind teachers in this book. They remind her of her worshipped teacher Ms. Kikuchi so she read this book again and again. For me, my daughter's kindergarten days are sweet memory, too. In those days, even catching cold and staying home is so sweet that we can't forget such a day.

This is another good Bindergarten book. She gets sick and has to call in a sub. My K class loves to read about Miss Bindergarten and her animal students.

Miss Bindergarten Stays Home From Kindergarten is an excellent way to prepare children for a substitute teacher. The substitute is a man which is refreshing since so few books have male elementary age teachers. Miss Bindergarten has a cold and other children get sick as the story evolves. This is a story young children can relate to and be assured that a substitute teacher can be very fun and the regular teacher will be better soon and back at school.

The seller was prompt in shipping my order. My book arrived in excellent condition. I am very happy with this seller and will recommend to others.
