My Teacher for President

My Teacher for President

Written by: Kay Winters

Illustrated by: Denise Brunkus

Brief Summary: Who wouldn't want to nominate their teacher for president! Oliver certainly believes that his teacher meets the presidential qualifications. She can act quickly when there is an emergency, she likes to go on trips, and she is always signing important papers in the classroom. According to Oliver, she would be a perfect president!

I adored this book. What teacher wouldn't want their students to think that they were skilled enough to be the president. The illustrations are beautifully done; they are page-filling, very detailed, and helped aid the words of the book. For example:

Left page: "She deals with the media every day." The illustration shows the teacher placing a broken tape into a VCR.

Right page: Illustration shows the teacher as the president. Here the teacher is dealing with the press and has 15 microphones placed in front of her as she talking out to reporters and cameras.

This book is clever and unique. I enjoyed reading it and I'm sure my students would as well. I think I'm going to take this book with me to my 2nd grade 'school buddy' and see what she thinks of it. I have a feeling that she is going to love it :)
