Synopsis
Spider legs, spelling tests, fourth grade secrets, squirt gun battles, and a teacher who
marks with sunshine. Through the voices of bright pencils and toilet shaped erasers and
with humor, sensitivity, and enviable energy, Kalli Dakos continues to celebrate school
life and the wondrous, hilarious, poignant and telling moments that can happen only
in a classroom.
Reviews
What this collection does is show kids that their world is something
to write about, in their own words, and in their own way.
(Booklist)
Dakos captures the lighter moments as well as the sensitivities of children, whether it be
dread of failing tests, or the embarrassment of wearing glasses. This collection will have
wide appeal.
