Don't Be Silly, Mrs. Millie!

Don't Be Silly Mrs. Millie is a great book that would be silly and fun for younger children. I feel like it would suit kids in younger grades best. The book was written by Judy Cox and is about a kindergarten class who finds thier teacher to be quite funny. Mrs. Millie always uses animal names for things that she says. For example, she tells the children they are having gorilla cheese sandwhiches for lunch instead of grilled cheese sandwhiches. Joe Mathieu does an excellent job of making the pictures in the book very detailed and humerous.
This book seemed like it was a pretty easy read and would be a good book for a child learning how to read, especially since they could use context clues to help them decode the text if they are having trouble. I also think it would be fun to think of some more interesting phrases that you could replace with animal names and use them in the classroom after you read the book. I definately think a class of younger students would think it was funny...They might even say, "Don't be silly Ms. McGee!"
