<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A 20-year veteran third-grade teacher chronicles a year in his classroom with 32 charming, hilarious, tragic third graders--and their pet bunny.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Now in paperback, to tie in with the publication of Phillip Done's new hardcover Close Encounters of the Third Grade Kind from Center Street, 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny "brings the joys and terrors of elementary school back to life" (The Washington Times).</b> <p/>Phil Done has taught elementary school for twenty years. He fixes staplers that won't staple, zippers that won't zip, and pokes pins in the caps of glue bottles that will not pour. He has sung "Happy Birthday" 657 times. 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny is for anyone who has ever taught children--or been to third grade. This collection of tightly written, connected essays is an "unexpected pleasure...an absolute joy" (Tucson Citizen) and a testament to the kids who uplift us--and the teachers we will never forget. With just the right mix of humor and wisdom, Done reveals the enduring promise of elementary school as a powerful antidote to the cynicism of our times.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>."..funny and thoughtful" -- "San Jose Mercury News "<br><br>."..touching and hilarious." -- "Sunday World-Herald "(Omaha)<br><br>"Delightful...a good book for anyone who ever went to third grade." --" Lincoln Journal Star"<br><br>"Every so often, a book surfaces that has such unabashed charm you want to praise it from the rooftops.
