Marvin Monster's Teacher Jitters
Marvin attends Grim Castle Elementary School. When Mr. Stein, his old teacher, is promoted to Assistant Principal, he hears lots of scary things about Mrs. Witchafred, his new teacher. When Mrs. Witchafred changes the class field trip, Marvin decides that he doesn't want Mrs. Witchafred as his teacher and he decides to do something about it.
This book isn’t very complicated, so it is better for younger kids. This book has good ideas.
None, although we were surprised by the reading level.
Our 7-year-old asked us to read this several times. She loved the idea of a monster classroom and eating crunchy bugs.
This is a story easily shared in one sitting or over several nights. The story is simple, and it is a fantasy story. The lesson is to accept change and see if the change is for the better. I rate this book a four out of ten because of simplicity.
It has humorous moments and monsters who have people-like emotions. There is a very important lesson about rumors that kids will get immediately. Although we were surprised, we didn't mind reading this one again.
This is a story about understanding and accepting change.
In addition to talking with kids about change, the book offers the opportunity to discuss what happens when you judge someone wrongly, or worse yet, take matters into your own hands and regret the decision.
