Mademoiselle Charlotte, the new teacher, is not like the others: she wears a
large hat and a crumpled dress that make her look like a scarecrow, and she
talks to a rock. The children think she is crazy at first, but soon realize she
makes school more fun than ever, getting them to measure the room with cooked
spaghetti in maths class, telling fascinating stories about a gorilla and even
taking the pupils on at football. The first book in Dominique Demers s popular
series, The New Teacher, brilliantly illustrated by Tony Ross, is an
entertaining, imaginative and inspiring book that will make you wish you had a
teacher just like Mademoiselle Charlotte.
