Customer Reviews

And the children loved it....

Last Friday I had the pleasure of hearing this lovely book read to a classroom of second graders at Emery Elementary School in Washington, DC. The children were thrilled by the book's beautiful illustrations and uplifting message. They especially enjoyed joining in reciting the refrain, "And the children loved it." I highly recommend "Miss Tizzy," to anyone who wants a fun and inspiring book for children.

And the children loved it

My second grade students loved this story. They did not find the refrain cloying at all. In fact, they smiled big smiles each time I read "And the children loved it."

A wonderful book for children and adults!

I discovered this book at the library and wanted to share it with all my friends. It's creative and quite touching. We should all want to have a friend like Miss Tizzy... or be her! Go get it and pass it on.

A beautiful story of fun, friendship & authentic learning

This delightful book should be read by everyone who works with young children in a learning environment! Miss Tizzy's real love of fun and of learning through play and experiences provides neighborhood children with all the tools they need to express their creativity and the wonder of their world. Using the every-day environment of her home, Miss Tizzy creates a place of learning and fun in which the children discover true friendship. In the end, they learn to give love and joy back to their special friend when she needs it the most. Illustrations in this book show refreshing ethnic diversity. Grab some tissue, because this book will truly touch your heart!

This book is awesome.

Miss Tizzy is an excellent book to cuddle up with or read aloud. This book is a must for teachers. It teachs the days of the week, sequencing, math skills, diversity and true friendship. If I could have only one childrens book, this would be it!
