If intended for future teachers, or a reaffirmation to ones that are already working, I think it is sweet but not in the correct format for such an endeavor as the pictures and vocabulary are clearly intended for a younger audience. This is the person who has power over recess or no recess, for goodness sake. Was is it intended to show students how important their teacher is? Or was it intended for future teachers to give them a pep talk about how much of an influence they can have on future generations in their classroom? If it was intended for a younger audience to make them appreciate their teacher, I don't find this lesson, and thus would not pick it to read to them, needful as most elementary students I know are in no doubt as to their feelings about their teacher positive or negative. In truth though, I was confused about the intended audience of this book. The illustrations evoke memories of the Little House on the Prairie books with the simplicity of line and water-washed illustrations of pioneer life. ![]() Being a fan of pioneer books I enjoyed the descriptions of Blue Ridge Mountain life in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
