Miserable Mildred

Open the pages of Miserable Mildred and whether teacher, parent, or student you will enjoy the delightfully rhythmic rhyme that transports you one way or another to the uniting human condition of either being or dealing with a child WHO DOES NOT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!
The main character, Mildred, is modeled after Gail Funsten's granddaughter, Faith. Her big brown eyes and look of disbelief are a perfect match for the catchy rhymes that she pleads her case with on each of the five school days. The refrain that runs throughout the book, "THE ONLY TIME SHE WAS ALL RIGHT WAS WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PLAY," will be heartily enjoyed by classroom children as they join in repeating it with the teacher when the book is read aloud.
The illustrations of Mildred's wardrobe are nothing short of "Haute Couture." You'll also enjoy the exacting illustrations of a bright and cheery elementary classroom. The meticulous attention to detail is astonishing.
Miserable Mildred is author/illustrator Gail Funsten's second book. It will not take a back seat.
