Book Reviews of Miss Malarkey Doesn't Live in Room 10
Book Review: Teachers don't really live in their classrooms, do they?
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a delightful story that dispels a common myth among young children - that their teacher really doesn't live at school. The story opens by describing what the narrator thinks about his teacher, Miss Malarkey's, life after the school day ends. The narrator believes that Miss Malarkey grades papers and prepares for the next day in her classroom while wearing pajamas, eats dinner in the cafeteria and sits at the best table, then goes to sleep in the teacher's room. These ideas are dispelled, however, when Miss Malarkey moves into the narrator's apartment building. The narrator sees that Miss Malarkey walks around her apartment barefoot, takes out the garbage, and even throws parties and dinners. The narrator tries to convince his classmates of this; however they still believe Miss Malarkey lives at school. The book ends with the narrator discussing his future second grade teacher, Mrs. Boba, who the narrator is sure lives at school. This book is a great book for early grades because many students do believe that their teachers live in the school building and do not have other roles besides that of teacher. A book like this one, teaches students that teachers are real people just like anyone else and consequently can help students relate to their teacher better.
Summary of Miss Malarkey Doesn't Live in Room 10
I know my teacher, Miss Malarkey, lives in our classroom, Room 10. She's there all the time. In fact, all the teachers live at school. They eat dinner in the cafeteria and sleep in the teachers' lounge. I'm sure of it!
So why is Miss Malarkey moving into my apartment house?...
What could be more surprising than finding out your teacher has a life outside school? In Miss Malarkey Doesn't Live in Room 10, Judy Finchler and Kevin O'Malley celebrate kids' comic misunderstandings about the private lives of teachers.
