Thank You, Miss Doover

Pulver, R. (2010). Thank You, Miss Doover. New York: Holiday House. 



Thank You, Miss Doover is about Jack who is trying to write a thank you note to his great aunt, and his teacher, Miss Doover, (get it? do over?) who is trying to teach the class how to write a thank you note correctly.

Even though this book would make a good introduction into writing thank you notes, I think any teacher of writing would appreciate it more than students at how frustrating it can be when teaching  the mechanics associated with letter writing. The end result as seen on the last few pages say it all for any teacher.

Emotions seen on the faces of the teacher are priceless! I would suggest this book to be read by any teacher after tackling a class of writing. It definitely would bring a smile after a frustrating day.
