Charlie Bumpers vs. the Teacher of the Year

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. Hopelessly messy Charlie is assigned to neat and well-organized Mrs. Burke's fourth-grade classroom, and he's nervous. Charlie and Mrs. Burke get off to a rough start, but through the missteps and bad decisions, it's obvious that Charlie is a caring and thoughtful friend--something Mrs. Burke works to highlight. Sprinkled black-and-white illustrations capture the highs and lows of Charlie's amusing antics.
