"Mrs. C told us this is the last week she'll be teaching us. She's leaving because she's having a baby. So we'll have a new teacher for the rest of the year. Stella loves everything about being in Mrs. C's class, and she worries that no new teacher could know that she needs help tying her shoelaces, or that she only likes to read books from the blue bin because they have more pictures. So Stella writes the principal a letter, with tips for training a new teacher to be just like Mrs. C. When Stella meets the new teacher for the first time, he's not like Mrs. C at all but Stella can't believe everything that he knows! Maybe the rest of the year won't be so bad after all? This heartwarming story of the incredible bond that children have with their elementary school teachers will resonate just as strongly with young readers and old. Just the right touch of humour and a cleverly told story will have readers engaged and adults not minding at all when they're asked to read it again (and again)."--
