The way to get an out-or-print title

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!

Great Halloween Book!

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.

Review from an almost 50 foot teacher :)

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.
