Don't Be Silly, Mrs. Millie!

by Judy Cox

Book Overview

Mrs. Millie has lots of fun teasing her kindergartners. She tells them to hang up their goats, eat gorilla cheese sandwiches, and to remember to wear their bats and kittens when they go outside for recess. Coupled with hilarious artwork that literally interprets each of Mrs. Millie's "mistakes," this lighthearted read-aloud sets a typical school day on its ear, even as it teaches a subtle lesson on wordplay.

Customer Reviews

Love, love, love this book!

My daughter has had this book for some time now and we have read it over and over again. It is silly with great pictures. It is one of her favorites. I highly recommend it.

Mother of Four Year Old

My daughter was given this book as a birthday present and, after hearing it once, requests that I read it to her regularly. I brought it to her preschool one day and all the kids in her class were hysterically laughing while I was reading it. It's a great book for kids about to enter kindergarten or already in the first few grades of elementary school.

Everyone needs a Miss Millie!

This book was so fun to read! The illustrations were great and the mistakes Miss Millie made were hilarious! A few were lost on my 4 yr old, but eventually he'll get them! Definitely a GREAT book that leaves you smiling!

Best of service.

This is a wonderful book for little children. They just giggle and giggle, and it's fun for the reader too. The service was excellent.

Dont Be Silly, Mrs. Millie

This is one of my five year old daughter's favorite books, about a "silly" teacher who makes puns and skewed homonyms to make the everday occurances of the classroom seem fun, and allows the kids to correct her, giving them both a connection to their teacher through shared silliness, and a sense of group mastery when they laughingly correct her. The bright visual representation of the teacher's "silliness, " as well the kid's reactions and the classroom activity really animate the story. On playdates, my daughter loves to read it with her friends, taking turns on who gets to play the part of silly Mrs. Millie and who gets to be the chorus of students. A winner!
