Illustrated by
Stephanie Roth Sisson.
During her lesson in thank-you-note writing, teacher Miss Doover (read: "do over") grows exasperated with well-meaning Jack (he tells Great-Aunt Gertie that the stationery she gave him is "useful"--for housebreaking his dog). This largely successful light comedy plays well visually: illustrations appear in panels, Jack's letters are legible on the page, and all other text comes via dialogue and thought bubbles.
