A clever poetry collection in honor of all students who have ever grappled with show-and-tell missteps and problematic classmates.

My Teacher Dances on the Desk captures episodes from every aspect of school life, from visiting the school nurse to sitting next to the wrong student, are told through humorous verse. Move Me Soon I don’t like sitting next to Rose. She’s always picking at her nose, And chews her fingernails way down, And always wears a pouty frown. Black-and-white line drawings punctuate these school-year reflections. Students young and old will fondly recall their own school “daze” in My Teacher Dances on the Desk.
