School's out for the summer in this latest early reader in the Robin Hill School series. Hannah's heading to the beach with her mom and has big plans to hunt for treasure. But before she can put shovel to sand, she sees Mrs. Connor her teacher! How can a teacher be at the beach? How can she be wearing a swimsuit? This humorous early reader, with large type, simple vocabulary, and cheerful, summery cartoonlike pictures, is ideal for beginning readers, many of whom may relate to Hannah's shock at seeing her teacher anywhere but behind a desk.--Kelley, Ann Copyright 2010 Booklist

Early elementary students will easily relate to these story lines--the weirdness of seeing your teacher outside of the school setting and the in-class excitement of observing caterpillars as they slowly transform into butterflies. Both the sweet illustrations and straightforward dialogue hit just the right note in capturing the curiosity of young school-age children learning about their world.
