to fix him right up. She gave him a new pen and a whole new outlook on the school nurse.

I love this book so much. It was really interesting to read. The children I read it to really enjoyed it as well. It was very easy to read aloud. It enabled me to use different tones in my voice which the children really enjoyed.

This book is part of a series. You could use this series in a lesson plan about school because all of the books have something to do with the different employees in a school system. You could also have the kids diagnose the students mysterious blue dots or color some on their hand with washable marker. You could also use a stenciled hand and have them make their own colorful desease.
