"(A) wonderfully empathetic story, written by a kindergarten teacher, about the innocently farfetched speculations of young schoolchildren as to just how and where their teacher lives."--Christian Science Monitor.

This is a wonderful story about kindergarten kids who think their teacher lives in the classroom. She plans a surprise field trip to show them she is a real person, not just a teacher. This is a great book to help kids understand that teachers are people too. As a teacher of 2nd graders, I highly recomment it.

As a kindergarten teacher, this book is a must have! Five-year olds are curious and excited about school, this book incorporates both. Watch the children in your class grow with excitement as you read this wonderful story to them.

A great book- I have always liked this one. A girl named Molly thinks her teacher lives at her school. Molly and her friends look for clues to see if she is right. This book has good plot elements and a nice ending. Four students suprise their teacher with a home made card and a snack. Soon, the whole class thinks their that their teacher, Mrs. Marsh, sleeps in school. Who ever thought that their teacher lived at school? This book is definitely worth reading. Does Mrs. Marsh really sleep in school? Read the book to find out!

A Kid's Review
Format:Paperback
My Teacher Sleeps In School helps us to see the more human side of teachers. It brings out the wild imagination but makes sense at the same time. It makes the reader wonder about the real after school life of teachers. A very intersting book, never a dull moment.

A Kid's Review
Format:Paperback
I think this book is great book. I like how the characters are like in this book, because it seems that they very enjoy school. And also i like it because it something different having elephants going to school, and this reminds me of my friends and I having fun at school.

I purchased this for my friend's daughter who is just starting school. This is a very imaginative book for children who are getting used to being in a classroom setting.

I bought this book for my wife who shares the same name and occupation as the main character. I read it while teaching and figured my wife's students would like it since it's about their teacher.

I ordered this book for a girl who was turning 6 and starting kindergarten. Her mom is a teacher so of course she knows that teachers don't sleep at school but it was still one of my favorites as a kid and I wanted to share it with her. I like that this book is about a school of elephants instead of humans.
The elephant children become convinced that their teacher lives in the classroom "she is here when we arrive and when go home"
and "look here are her slippers in the closet" there is even a bag of groceries in the play kitchen. The ring leader Mollie writes a note to the teacher saying "we know your secret" when the teacher finds it she takes the children on a surprise field trip.
When I gave the book the girl's mother recognized it from her childhood. Someday, when I have children, this will be on their bookshelf.
This is a slim flimsy style paperback, I recommend a hardcover for a child that is more rough with their books.
Overall this book is cute and worth reading to young children.

From a former student
I'm perhaps a bit biased, because Leatie Weiss was my kindergarten teacher, and read this and her other books ("Heather's Feathers" and "Funny Feet") to us when I attended her... Read more
