Customer Reviews

funny, and great illustrations

I think the book was funny especailly the part when Mr. Rivera went fishing and caught Miss Belle. The illustrations are so funny and the story makes you laugh and happy.

A unique, original, and superbly presented picturebook

Elementary school teacher Mrs. Belle is off to summer camp to be the Head Counselor. The eccentric Mrs. Belle insists on wearing ballet slippers for all the camp events and activities (including hiking, bowling, and scuba diving!) which is plunging the camp kids, staff and the owner Mr. Rivera into upheaval and disorder. Can the children devise a compromise between Mrs. Belle and Mr. Rivera (who wants her to be in normal, sensible shoes) that will take into account Mrs. Belle's sore feet? Imaginatively written for readers ages 4 to 104 by Sheila and Letty Sustrin, and energetically illustrated with the artwork of Thomas H. Bone III, The Teacher Who Would Not Retire Goes To Camp is a unique, original, and superbly presented picturebook whose story and imagery will capture the delighted attention of readers from first page to last.

The Misses Sustrin Do It Again

The Sustrin's second book is equal to their first, "The Teacher Who Would Not Retire". The story is delightful and entertaining; the illustrations are wonderful and jump right off the pages. I took care of a great portion of my Christmas gift list by purchasing numerous copies of this book.
