Mrs. McBloom Clean Up Your Classroom!

Mrs. McBloom Clean Up Your Classroom by Kelly DiPucchio

Summary: The entire town of Up Yonder joins in to help their favorite teacher clean up her messy classroom.

My Thoughts: This is an all time favorite of mine!  It is a wonderful choice for storytime as it is sure to get smiles and giggles!  It is hard to imagine a classroom in the world that resembles Room Five.  Mrs. McBloom's beehive hairdo, sweet smile, funny expressions, and cluttered classroom draw readers into the story by page two. The problem solving of her students bring giggles and the many artifacts found in Room Five including petrified cupcakes, a rotary telephone, and old lunch boxes bring delight to many kids and lead to some fun side discussions.  Everyone can just imagine what will happen when Miss Bumblesprout moves in for her first day of teaching in Room Five!
