Product Description
A playful take on a topic that all parents can relate to—getting sick! The ever-lovable Miss Bindergarten is not feeling well. The flu strikes on Sunday, so she has to stay home from kindergarten on Monday. Mr. Tusky (who is a wee bit rusty) will be her substitute, but it just won’t be the same. The kindergartners miss Miss Bindergarten! They pass the time by making get-well cards and singing songs, all the while counting out the days that Miss Bindergarten is away. What ever will they do without her?
Amazon.com Review
On Sunday morning, sad but true,
Miss Bindergarten got the flu.
"I'm aching and shaking right down to the bone.
Tomorrow I fear I shall have to stay home."
Sure enough, Monday morning comes, and Miss Bindergarten's class is upset to see that their beloved teacher is nowhere to be found. Soon Mr. Tusky arrives to fill in for Miss Bindergarten, with an endearing appeal to his temporary students: "I hope you'll help me through the day--I'm just a wee bit rusty." Adam the alligator, Brenda the beaver, Christopher the cat, and all the alphabetized others rise gallantly to the occasion, showing Mr. Tusky the ropes of kindergarten life: show and tell, song singing, and picture painting. But one by one, day by day, classmates drop like flu-ridden flies. The many delights of kindergarten--even a sick day, if it includes ginger ale and bendy straws--are captured perfectly in this third in the popular Miss Bindergarten series. As in their two previous books about the canine schoolteacher and her multicultural (hippos, monkeys, lizards, pigs, etc.) classroom (Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten and Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day of Kindergarten), Joseph Slate and Ashley Wolff use gentle little verses and a simple story line to introduce young readers to the happy world of kindergarten. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

Superb Book for children, 2003-05-05
Miss Bindergarten is a dog who teaches school to a lot of baby animals. I read this book to my four year old, and he loved it. After we were done reading the book he hugged it and smiled really big. The book is intended for an audience of 4 or 5 year olds (maybe even the first graders). There are 38 unnumbered pages in this book. This book is illustrated by Ashley Wolff, and she does a brillant job. I usually don't like to pitch authors and illustrators, but there was a lot thought and care put into these illustrations so I just have to say something about this illustrator. At this age -- illustrations are everything. We spent about 10 minutes reading this book (5 of those minutes were me trying to get to the next page). Then about 45 minutes looking at the pictures and naming the different little animals. My son wanted to look at and ask questions about each page -- very stimulating for his little mind. I highly recommend this book.

Sweet memory of Kindergarten for a mother and a daughter, 2001-01-13
My daughter has recently graduated her loved kindergarten. She was fascinated with two kind teachers in this book. They remind her of her worshipped teacher Ms. Kikuchi so she read this book again and again. For me, my daughter's kindergarten days are sweet memory, too. In those days, even catching cold and staying home is so sweet that we can't forget such a day.

The Joys of Kindergarten, 2000-11-06
It's Sunday and poor Miss Bindergarten has come down with the flu and she won't be able to teach school tomorrow. But, not to worry, Mr Tusky, the very able substitute, is here. And with the help of the children, Adam the alligator, Brenda the beaver, Christopher the cat... and the rest of the alphabetized named class, they don't miss a thing...show and tell, drawing and painting, singing...Unfortunately, with each day, another student falls victim to the flu. That is until Friday, when everybody is back for a full day with Miss Bindergarten. On Saturday and Sunday, everyone gets to stay home, especially a very sick Mr Tusky! Joseph Slate has written a very gentle, rhyming story about the joys of kindergarten, even when the flu hits. Ashley Wolff's, expressive, detailed illustrations, compliment the story perfectly as you watch the class play, learn and even fall sick. Together, they take some of the mystery and fear out of kindergarten life. A wonderful, delightful story all kindergarteners will love and want to read again and again.

Poor Miss Bindergarten :(, 2000-08-14
Poor Miss Bindergarten gets sick and needs to stay home. The book is just as good as the other two. The illustrations are beautiful. They are detailed and really lend themselves to discussion questions. (My students don't like me to turn the pages too quickly!) The language flows nicely with wonderful rhymes. My students love to figure out which words rhyme. I would recommend this for all primary grades.
