This is a very interesting book and would be a great read on the first day of school. Reading this book with the students can break the ice and show them that even teachers can't do everything. For instance did you know that teacher's can't buy their own apples? Or slide down the tubes on the playgr...

This book is a great book for introduction into the school system. This book would be great to use with kids to break the ice into a new classroom and new teacher. Perfect for kindergarten and 1st would probably work best for this read.

What Teachers Can't Do would be a great book to use on the first day of school. It would be fun for 1st or 2nd grade to read in the first few days of a new school year to break the ice of the classroom.

What Teachers Can't Do is a fun read. I would personally read this book on the first day as a fun icebreaker. However, I would only use this book for kindergarten to second. Reading this book to the students can show them that even teachers can't do everything, spelling the word cat themselves inclu...

written by Douglas Wood, illustrated by Cheng-Khee Chee The story was different from what I was expecting. It's very religious/spiritual and I was expecting an animal fable or something like that. The story's not bad (maybe a little pedantic at times), and the illustrations are beautiful (four sta...

There are a few characters who can be read as racially ambiguous, but I was reading this book as myself (the...

Picked up mainly for LeUyen Pham's illustrations. It's very sweet, but I don't know that the story is one that will particularly resonate or stick with kids.

Spectacular illustrations from P.J. Lynch of almost life-size children and nature fill these pages with the proper wonder that the text deserves. An ode to awakening awareness within ourselves to the marvels of our senses, and our perceptions to the world around us. An invitation to find one's "own ...

Douglas Wood visited our congregation last year. As part of a worship service, he read passages, sang, and played acoustic guitar while Cheng-Khee Chee's artwork cycled through on large screens in the sanctuary. The adult-heavy audience and worship setting were perfect, and absolutely beautiful. The...

4.5 stars. This delightful story is told from the perspective of a child who says that mommy can't do a lot of things but the pictures tell a different tale: Moms can't bake, but the child has helped and made a horrific mess. Moms can't go shopping by themselves but the illustrations show the child ...
