(4) K-3 Illustrated by Judy Love. This book consists of students' letters to Mrs. Hartwell, the new teacher introduced in First Day Jitters, who has set up an in-class "post office." Letter writers include Eddie, who apologizes for throwing up on her, and Andy, who claims not to know how the class snake got loose. The non-cumulative letters may tire some readers, but many will derive humor from the unflinchingly illustrated disasters.
