Attack of the Fifty-Foot Teacher

As a school librarian, I've got many favorite titles. This out-of-print paperpack was priced right, and shipped promptly. The five stars is for the seller--though the book is good too!

My 5-year-old son finds this book hilarious. It has wry, colorful pictures, and a funny story about a cranky old teacher who never smiles, until one Halloween night, when everything changes. We originally checked it out at the library, but now we plan on purchasing our own copy.

I first noticed this book in our school library (I teach 2nd grade) and had to get it since I'm a rather tall teacher myself. It is a cute Halloween story that my class enjoyed a lot. The illustrations are very vivid and the story is original. I enjoyed how the adults had to be reminded what it was like to be a kid, and the kids saw another side of their teacher that they didn't expect to see. My only complaint is that my students and I wished that more happened in the story. It seemed a little short.
