5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Christmas Gift for Elementary School Teachers Ever!, January 26, 2002

By	Carolyn Jones (Oklahoma City, OK) - See all my reviews

I was so delighted to find this Christmas "gem" this past year. Having taught 1st grade for several years before becoming a principal, I know that the series of events described and depicted in this book are in fact reality. I laughed out loud, and then ordered a copy for every one of my teachers for Christmas. Best of all, as they read their new books aloud to their children, the halls of our school were filled with laughter! Mr. Layne and Mr. Rice brought a lot of joy our way this season. Thanks so much!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book School Children and Adults Alike Will Love, February 17, 2002

By	aleia (Lebanon, IN) - See all my reviews

Clever illustrations and a humorous storyline make this a must- read Christmas picture book for both children and adults. I am a first-grade teacher, and this book is the story of my life. I read this book to my students, and they could not wait to see what funny incident happened next. They have also asked me to read it to them over and over again. I highly recommend this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a find!, February 22, 2002

By	Sally Fiedler (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

I had the pleasure of receiving this book as a gift from not one but two different students ... I read it aloud and fell in love with it. The author is a teacher (no surprise), and I ... met him at a conference! He couldn't have been nicer. I have every intention of giving this book as a gift to my own children's teachers ... If you work in an elementary school or know someone who does, this book is a find. Best of all, the kids think it's hysterical!
