Illustrations:
This is a fantastic picture story book that uses many fun elements to help tell the story in a unique way. Throughout the book whenever the teacher is acting mean she is green and monster like, but as Bobby begins to like his teacher she grows more human like. It is a fun and interesting story that has lots of collage style artwork to look at. The use of space in the book is well explored.
In the classroom:
I think this could be a very fun book to read to a class or have in the classroom. Students will definitely get a kick out of the funny jokes and pokes at teachers. Young readers can enjoy this simple text and the fun colorful illustrations. It also teaches a valuable lesson about getting to know people and not judging a book by its cover.
