Last Day Blues

Written by Julie Danneberg and Illustrated by Judy Love

What do teachers do for summer vacation?

Mrs. Hartwell's students worry that their teacher will miss them while they are gone for the summer. The class comes up with a way to make sure Mrs. Hartwell won't be too sad. But Mrs. Hartwell and the other teachers have some plans of their own.

Once again Julie Danneberg and Judy Love bring to life the crazy antics of Mrs. Hartwell and her class.

A fun, classroom storytime summer send off, or ideal teacher appreciation gift, Last Day Blues reminds everyone that teachers and students are more alike than we sometimes think.
