TheApple

Starting this October and throughout the school year, members of TheApple have the opportunity to win free books! Talented education authors are helping TheApple make professional development and literature more accessible. You can enter to win each month!

This month’s book prize: It's Not All Flowers and Sausages by Mrs. Mimi

Book description from the back cover: "Meet Mrs. Mimi- she's the second grade teacher every kid should have. Hip and hilarious, she brings us into her New York City classroom, with no hold barred."

Review from Dr. Branstetter (TheApple contributor): "She has just written a book about her adventures in teaching 2nd grade that made me miss not one, but TWO train stops when I was reading it on my morning commute. I give it a TWO MISSED STOP rating*. My highest yet. Let’s put it this way, I only missed ONE stop in reading my favorite book of all time, Jane Eyre. So basically, it’s better than a classic, at least if you are an educator."

There will be two winners in October!

I absolutely LOVE childrens literature. I'm a substitute teacher and it's always nice having a "mobile library" when going into different grades. Thanks for the opportunity to be entered into the drawing!! :)

What a great idea to get teachers and students excited about reading!  Bravo

I am going through a teacher preperation program right now and have built up a community of future educators.  This would be a great book to share among all of us.  :)

 The description reminds me of Ms. Moffits' first year. I loved that book, and this book sounds just as good!

Hi everyone. The book sounds great. I'm always open to a new book for my library.
