Booklist

Hubbell and Speir's series, which has already taken a look at police officers and firefighters, now goes into the classroom. In rhyming couplets, an unnamed narrator praises his teacher and all that she does each day: "We practice how to read and spell. Teacher joins our show-and-tell." And, "Computer work is fun, fun, fun! Teacher shows us how it's done." The artwork fills the pages with familiar school sights: schoolwork, recess, and story time. The simplicity is appealing, except in one respect: there are only four kids in the classroom? Still, it's good to see a deserving community helper getting her due.
