There’s also power in adults being honest with their feelings. This title addresses all of that and more, demonstrating how adults and kids can have similar experiences. Mrs. Hartwell tells her students she has to go to a teacher class the next day, and she’s nervous. The kids band together to remind her of the coping mechanisms she has taught them, adding some of their own wisdom into the mix. The rest of the book outlines Mrs. Hartwell’s day in a new class, with fears that seem familiar to anyone who’s stepped in a new school. The expressive ­faces and outlandish situations depicted in the ­illustrations drive home that ­everyone, even grown-ups, are students at heart. ­VERDICT An amusing disruption of the norm, teaching kids how to handle nerves by cleverly making the student the master.\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulie Danneberg\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eJohn Muir Wrestles a Waterfall\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMonet Paints a Day\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFamily Reminders\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the best-selling Jitters Series.
