From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Grade 1–3—What is happening to Miss Malarkey? Her students are concerned about their beloved teacher because she is singing in the halls and laughing with the principal. Maybe she's won a lot of money, or perhaps she's going to quit and become an astronaut. Most of the boys think it's weird when she starts a unit on wedding customs, but the girls are fascinated. The inquisitive narrator's fears build until he learns that she is about to reveal a secret to the class. Each student receives an invitation to attend Miss Malarkey's marriage to Bob Fulla. Yes, the joke is obvious: Should they call her Mrs. Fulla-Malarkey? The authors take liberal license to make that groaner since a maiden name usually comes before the hyphen, not after. Cartoon illustrations drawn with markers and colored pencils round out the humor in this picture book, which includes a variety of layouts and changes in perspective. This is a light bit of entertainment that youngsters are sure to enjoy despite a somewhat contrived story line. The snippets about marriage customs provide a springboard to discuss different cultures. The voice of the narrator reflects the kinds of observations young boys like to make: "The guy Miss Malarkey was gonna marry had a big chin." "I even saw Principal Wiggins laugh so hard…that his hair almost slipped off." This latest installment in the series will be a hit.—Mary Hazelton, Elementary Schools in Warren & Waldoboro, ME |

| "Congratulations, Miss Malarkey!" is a humorous children's picture book about a favorite teacher who has been acting unusual in class. There are rumors that she may actually quit teaching, an imminent disaster to her students. Then she teaches her class a unit on marriage customs with special verve and enthusiasm. What can all this weirdness mean? When Miss Malarkey starts singing "The hills are alive/ with the sound of music!" her students decide things have gotten out of hand. Lo and behold, in the fullness of time Miss Malarkey reveals her secret to the students: She is getting married on Saturday and they are all invited to her wedding! There is a righteous celebration, but best of all, after a honeymoon and a the infliction of a substitute teacher who painted her fingernails while the students did worksheets, Miss Malarkey comes back to her class. Only now she is Mrs. Malarkey! "Congratulations, Miss Malarkey!" is a wonderful book suitable for elementary age children. The zany illustrations by co-author Kevin O'Malley add to the joyfulness of the story. |
