Close Encounters of the Third Grade Kind:Thoughts on Teacherhood

Phillip Done had done it again! If you read my reviews regularly,you may remember this review that I did for Mr.Done's first book,32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny.His newest book,Close Encounters of the Third Grade Kind,is equally as hilarious with a whole new round of stories that Mr. Done has taken from his 20 years of teaching experience.

Through these wonderfully beautiful stories,the reader can sense the love that Mr.Done has for his work and his students.
I love this book for exactly the same reasons as I wrote for 32 Third Graders and One Class Bunny.So,this review is pretty much a repeat of the first.

There are tales in Close Encounters of the Third Grade Kind that will have you in stitches and there are those tales that will make you wipe a tear from your eye.
This book is a quick read with short chapters which is great when you may only have a few minutes here and there to knock a few pages out.It was mainly a quick read for me because it,just like Mr.Done's previous book,is such a fantastic read,you just can't put it down!

You can find Close Encounters of the Third Grade Kind at Amazon,
Barnes and Noble and Borders

Misikko

I have tell you about a new hair product I've been using. The Hana Professional Flat Iron from Misikko is an amazing hairstyling tool!Going into this review I will admit that I figured it was just going to be an overpriced piece of equipment that was most likely going to give pretty much the same results as my $10 cheapo flat iron from Walmart.
Boy,did I get a surprise when I first used the Hana Professional flat iron!
Now,I already have straight hair but it does have some wave to it that becomes somewhat annoying at times.The Hana Professional flat iron performs so well that you would have thought I went to a salon and had my hair straightened.This styling tool is the best tool I've ever used!
