Why read it?
2 authors picked Mr. S as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The premise of this book is just hilarious. On their first day of school, a class thinks their teacher is a sandwich sitting on the desk at the front of the class. What?! Hilarious!
Because we see the scene through the classroom window, the reader knows that the teacher’s car was smashed by a fallen tree, and he’s stuck in the parking lot dealing with it. But the twist at the end has the reader questioning how much they actually knew all along!
This book takes the concept of the first day of school and turns it into an imaginative and humorous romp.
From the under-the-flap and end-page artwork to the story within the story taking place through the classroom window, this book leaves nothing “on the table”—well, except the classroom teacher. Who is a sandwich? Yes, a sandwich.
