Summary: How true the humor is
Review: I like this book, which I received as a gift. The humor is to the point. These cartoons are going to be displayed all over my classroom for all to enjoy. I can't wait for volume two.

Summary: Teaching is serious business AND, fun!
Review: Teaching can become a grind. When that happens it can grind you down. Don't let it happen to you. Seek out the pearls of fun, humorous insights and pleasure that occur each day, if you look for them. This book is full of really clever cartoons - the kind you see in better magazines - about the teaching experience. I use these cartoons for my bulletin board, to remind me that teaching can be fun, for my intra school memos, to make sure they're read, and for my Powerpoint presentations to get the audience interested in what I have to say.

Summary: A humorous insight into teaching
Review: The author is not only a fine cartoonist but an astute observer of teachers and teaching. As a teacher myself, I never knew that the profession could be seen as an endless source of humor. Now I approach each day with a new perspective on the profession. I have placed a few of the cartoons on my bulletin board and they attract staff members. The kids like them too. I really enjoyed this book.
