What happens when Mrs. Fritz's class gets a substitute teacher for the day? You just never know what to expect of a substitute teacher. Sometimes they're really strict and yell a lot and look really angry. Sometimes they don't know where anything is or how to say our names and we think they're stupid.
The Day The Sub Came Carol Gilbert Valerie Boris 9781453756928 Books
"The Day the Sub Came" is in the vein of the popular "Magic Schoolbus" series of children's books. It presents short adventures and inserts questions about the adventures which can be used as discussion points for the reader. It is a multi-adventure story of a substitute teacher's day told by a substitute teacher. The pictures by Valerie Boris are bright and colorful and complement the text. I knew Carol Gilbert, the author and substitute, when she was a substitute teacher and I felt she could write a book of her school adventures. Now she has done it, and I am glad.As in "Magic Schoolbus" adventures, the book goes through silly things that students do to trick a sub, but also some things that might be scary. For example, everyone can chuckle that Mrs. Gilbert is called "Mrs. Giblets" and that students would set the clock ahead to get out for recess 5 minutes early; but the class chipmunk being lost and a girl with a bloody nose call for thought, caring, and action by the sub.
The book is a "let's find out by doing" approach, again as in the "Magic Schoolbus" adventures, and encourages discussion with "asides," comments away from the main storyline. One aside is "I hate being benched don't you?" and another asks, "Do you think that punishment sounds fair?"--questions students will surely have comments on. Kids get into trouble and out of trouble and learn things, and the teacher has a satisfying day too.
Some of the day's events include 2 boys switching seats, the class telling the sub they finished their book already, sending notes to each other, dropping a book to make noise, running out the door when the bell rings. You never know what will happen, and it is quite a day, but all gets back to normal at the end of the day, and the class sings Happy Birthday, Mrs. Gilbert (no more Giblets).

The Day The Sub Came Carol Gilbert Valerie Boris 9781453756928 Books Reviews
What caught my eye as I looked through some of the children's books at the local book store, was the chalk board drawings on the cover of the book "The Day The Sub Came." I then picked up this book off the shelf and was delighted with the bold and colorful drawings that were full of life on every page. What I did not expect was the hilarious story which brought back my own elementary school memories of sub day. We did think we were going to get away with murder, so things have not changed. Carol Gilbert's (author) insight as a substitute teacher gave this book it's lively read. I loved the questions the author asks the reader. It's just lots of fun. I recommend that you buy it! My kids loved it.

The principal of Washington School had sent home a note informing the parents that there was a flu epidemic going around. Of course Eva was hoping that she'd come down with it so she could lounge in bed, watch television, and scoop up a bit of ice cream to cool her throat. Naturally she wouldn't mind getting sick and thought that "sometimes it's just really cool to have a day off and get spoiled a bit." Maybe spoiled a LOT would be her cup of tea, but there were other problems that came with a flu epidemic and one of them was that dreaded substitute teacher. Mrs. Fritz was sneezing up a storm and it sure looked like the class was in for it.
Subs were very difficult teachers to manage. Eva thought that most of the time "they don't know where anything is or how to say our names and we think they're stupid." And so they were stuck with Mrs. Gilbert, "Mrs. Giblets" according to Zoe. Eddie and Hui swapped places, everyone's books were dropped on the floor, and when recess came they all "ran out of the room like a herd of elephants. Mrs. Giblets, who claimed that day was her birthday, didn't have a chance against with that classroom, but did she? She "was getting harder and harder to fool," but then again, the class was actually starting to like her. Would Mrs. Gilbert really have a happy birthday or would Eva's classroom spoil her special day?
This charming book is one that every substitute teacher can learn from and relate to. Mrs. Gilbert, a.k.a. "Giblets," wasn't just one of those angry or stupid substitute teachers that most kids expect to come into the classroom, but rather a very experienced sub who was there to help them enjoy their day and actually learn. Interspersed throughout the text are italicized questions that the reader can ask him or herself about certain events happening in the book. This book is a learning experience for both students and teachers that will resonate with many of us. I liked the autobiographical bent of this book and also the way, in spite of the trickery going on, the positive slant toward the "dreaded" substitute teacher. If you are one, know one, or are thinking up a few ways to torture that very special breed of teacher, you just might want to take a look at this book!
This book courtesy of the author in exchange for an honest review.
It is a great book for kids and families no sex talking at all and one thing I don't like is that it teaches kids to not go to school
The paperback version of this title had great reviews. Unfortunately, I'll have to take their word for it. On my kindle the print is so small it cannot be read, and the font cannot be changed. I hope to receieve an email to update this title, and will adjust my rating accordingly.
I liked the story ok, but the print was so small on my , I could barely make it out and it was a pain to read. I couldn't make the print any larger and even switching to the app on my PC didn't help make the print bigger. I hope they find a way to fix this.
