My Teacher's My Friend

This book is probably the best teacher gift that you could ever give. It really shows how important the relationship between teacher and child is. We can all remember a favorite teacher from when we were a child, that really impacted our lives in some way. This books shows that side of teachers to our children, so they can see that teachers do what they do, because they care about them, and it shows teachers how much their very special jobs are appreciated. It is a very heartwarming book, as are all of P.K Hallinans childrens books. He has a way of saying exactly the right things, to explain different life lessons to children, in a very sweet, fun, and easy to understand way. I highly recommend this book!

good kindergarten book

i got this book for my son starting pre k, but its really geared towards kindergarten. i recommend it fo rthose starting elementary school.

A must for teachers of the very young!

If you teach early childhood (includes grades pre-k through third) this is a book you will definitely want to add to your collection. From greeting the children each morning to walking them to the bus in the afternoon, this book thoughtfully outlines all the reasons a teacher is a child's friend. In addition to viewing the teacher as a friend, this book is great to read at the beginning of the school year because it highlights the fun activities found in most early childhood classrooms (i.e. star of the week, storytime, holiday fun, and more). P.K. Hallinan is a master at being able to identify with the young child, as well as being a gifted poet.
