1,003 Great Things About Teachers

by Lisa Birnbach, Patricia Marx, Ann Hodgman

Teachers are simply the best. They're the special breed of people who strive to infuse us with an appreciation for the miraculous world in which we live and a sincere passion for learning. What better way to sing their praises than by declaring more than a thousand great things about them? That's what the successful author trio of Birnbach, Hodgman, and Marx does in this fourth book of their highly successful 1,003 Great Things series. This wonderfully humorous book features entries such o They are as happy about Friday as you are. o They tend to have highly legible handwriting. o Who else knows how important it is to be line leader? o They are excellent spellers. o Teachers know about Roman numerals. o They are more afraid of the principal than you are. o They lend you milk money when you forget yours. o They're not in it for the money.

This book is a list of things about teachers. It makes a nice coffee table book or cute gift for a teacher. Light reading to be sure; nothing like say Chicken Soup for the Teachers Soul.

Published in 2000, this book is showing its age. While there are some funny notes, there are also some that are cringeworthy (smoking cigarettes that are confiscated from students!) and sexist (about college professors “Their wives get lots of exercise lugging the baby stroller upstairs to their apartments”). I won’t be passing this book along.
