A Book of Coupons

(2) 4-6 Translated by Gill Rosner. Illustrated by Serge Bloch. The new fifth-grade teacher, Monsieur Noël, gives each child a book of coupons that excuse the holder for infractions of the rules. But the real gift he gives them is a love for learning--he will give them a "whole year of lessons for free." Morgenstern's witty and poignant tribute to great teachers everywhere proclaims what education should be about. Her message may be pointed, but no reader will be unmoved.
