Phillip Done fixes staplers that wont staple, zippers that wont zip, and pokes pins in the caps of glue bottles that will not pour. He has sung Happy Birthday 657 times. A witness to the joys of discovery, Done inspires readers with the everyday adventures and milestones of his 32 third graders in this irresistible collection of bite-sized essays. From the nervous first day of school to the hectic Halloween parade to the disastrous spring musical, Done connects what happens in his classroom to the universal truths that touch us all. He reminds us of the delight in learning something for the first time and the value of making a difference. 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny is for anyone who has ever taught children - or been to third grade. It is a testament to the kids who uplift us - and the teachers we will never forget. With just the right mix of humor and wisdom, Done reveals the enduring promise of elementary school as a powerful antidote to the cynicism of our times.
