Chosen by her teacher to deliver a note to Mrs. Walker, a proud Bunny sets out on her mission but realizes that she had no idea how to get to Mrs. Walker's room.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
A book with a one-dimensional storyline, thin characterization, and little of interest going on. Bunny is delighted when she is selected to take a note from her teacher to Mrs. Walker--until she realizes that she doesn't know where Mrs. Walker's room is. After wandering the halls, she returns to her own room with the note stuffed in her pocket, unable to admit her failure to Ms. Darcy. In the end, she finds the courage to tell the truth and is given a big hug by "the best teacher in the whole world." Even though Karas has imbued the characters with brown and yellow skin tones and various types of hair color, the attempt to convince readers that this is a multiracial classroom falls short because of the similarity of all the children's facial features. Even the black teacher has the same face. This title should be considered only after Patricia Reilly Giff's "Kids of Polk Street School " series and the "Polka-dot Mystery" series (both Delacorte). --Sharron McElmeel, Cedar Rapids Community Schools, IA

Enjoy this delightful story!,
This review is from: Best Teacher In The World, The (level 3) (Hello Reader) (Paperback)
This simple little story is tailored for beginning readers, but the reassuring and loving attitude of Ms Darcy warms the hearts of my husband and mine. We've all been there. Remember ourselves being kids? Like Bunny, we had the strongest sense of self - we loved being the center of attention; we hated to be laughed at our foolishness; we were reluctant or actually afraid to ask questions from our stern teachers although we were trained to follow instructions. The only difference, maybe, instead of being hugged and comforted, we would be punished for the mess we made up.I wish our kids would all meet a kind-hearted teacher like Ms Darcy, other than a pure disciplinarian, to make them feel secure in this changeable world.
