In this epistolary follow-up to the best-selling First Day Jitters
and Last Day Blues, Mrs. Hartwell receives letters over the course of
one school year from just about everyone.
As every first-year teacher knows, a classroom full of second graders
can be alarmingly unpredictable.The letters the children write to Mrs.
Hartwell are sympathetic (I figured you might be a little scared, just
like me); informative (...most kids don't eat cauliflower); encouraging
(Yesterday was THE BEST!); and apologetic (I'm sorry about throwing up
all over your shoes). Even a local firefighter writes to Sarah Jane.
Fun, funny, and heart-warming, Danneberg's The Jitters series is sure to
delight both teachers and children as they follow Mrs. Hartwell and her
class through the year. With School Year Jitters, classes will be
inspired to write letters to their own teachers about their favorite, or
wildest, days of the year.
