"Thank You, Miss Doover" by Robin Pulver is a must for all those boys and girls who write (or should write) thank you notes for presents they receive or for their teachers!
In this story Miss Doover is the teacher who is diligently trying to teach her class the art of writing thank you notes. Jack is writing to his Great-Aunt Gertie and thinks he will be done in a flash.
"Dear Great-Aunt Gertie, Thank you for the present! Love, Jack". Done!
Not done.... as Miss Doover keeps giving her students more and more tips to add to their letters with Jack trying to follow her advice, sometimes with success, sometimes not. Editing is the key word here! (Note the "drafts" on the cover).
When I was little I remember sending thank you notes for all the wonderful presents my grandparents sent to me. "Thank You, Miss Dover" brought back those memories. Thank you.
