Dear Subsitute

A student expresses herself with epistolary poems when a substitute teacher comes to class in this humorous picturebook by Liz Garton Scanlon and Audrey Vernick, with illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka.

When a substitute teacher named Miss Pelly comes to class, one student bristles at the change in routine-Miss Pelly doesn't follow the rules like Mrs. Giordano. But in time, our student learns that even though the substitute may do things a little differently, and she may be a bit silly, mixing things up might not be so bad.
Told in a series of epistolary poems, this funny, relatable picturebook is a great fit for classrooms and for any child nervous about new experiences.
