Why Is Charlie Brown’s Teacher Talking To Me?
I had the coolest language arts teacher in the eighth grade. Not only did Mrs. Smith make studying grammar, composition, and public speaking a fun activity, but she also took the time to invest in our lives. Her assignments were creative and entertaining, and the often involved her stuents really digging into their tender junior high bains, forcing us to take a good strong look at who we currently were as well as who we wanted to be.
Based on this intro, would you read more or pass on this book?

This one sounds like fun. Thanks for sharing…and for hosting. Enjoy!
I’m loving this book! The author is very funny!
I wish I’d had a teacher like that! This sounds like a book I’d enjoy.
Thank you for hosting.
I had two really amazing teachers in school. One was my 6th grade teacher, Mr. Morris, and the other was my BOE teacher in high school. I still think of them often and wonder how they are doing.
I like that a great teacher was highlighted in this first paragraph. I’d love to listen to this one. Enjoy Vicki.
Thanks Margot, I hope you decide to listen to it, it’s so good!
This sounds fun and with very appealing language.
The author has made me laugh more than a few times!
Mrs Smith sounds like a great teacher – making grammar a fun activity is such a skill!
I must have had a good grammar teacher because I’m a huge grammar fan. But, I can’t remember who the teacher was.
This sounds like it could be a fun book to read.
I’m loving the audio and so glad I decided to listen instead of read it. The author is doing a great job of narrating it and she’s very funny.
I think that title is cute – and I want to know why she hates green beans! LOL
I loved the title too, and the reason she hates green beans is funny.
Sounds like an entertaining read.
It’s really good Catherine.
Sounds like a fun one. Enjoy!
It is fun, and also has some not so fun parts, but I’m enjoying it so much.
Interesting title and I’m guessing this would make for a fun read.
It’s very fun!
I love the title and I also that the author is acknowledging a former teacher.
Sounds fun and I love the title!
PS Yesterday you asked about the character with the name Death on my review yesterday. I meant to explain that one! Whoops! They actually do talk about it His mother was an English teacher and his name is pronounced like Deeth and he’s named after Dorothy L. Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey who has Deeth as part of his many names.
Thanks for the info on his name!
It starts interesting.
It gets even better!
The best kind of teacher! Hopefully my students say the same about me one day. I do happen to like green beans, but not a lot of other veggies!
I’m sure your students think you’re a great teacher! I don’t like radishes but maybe I would if they were cooked a different way.
