Teacher Appreciation Day

Teacher Appreciation Day is here, and everyone in Mrs. Shepherd's class knows exactly how they will pay tribute to their favorite teacher. Everyone, that is, except Maybella Jean Wishywashy. She just can't decide. While the other students buy apples for their teacher, Maybella buys almost everything in the store. The other kids wear green, Mrs. Shepherd's favorite color, to school. Maybella can't settle on one outfit, so she wears practically everything she owns. The other kids clean the chalkboard for Mrs. Shepherd, but Maybella can't decide what to clean, so she cleans everything. When a TV news crew arrives and asks the students what they like best about their teacher, Maybella decides on an answer right away: "Everything!" This rambunctious read-aloud will be a favorite with both students and their appreciated teachers.
