I don't know what made me do it. I'd never done anything like that before. I wish like anything I could take it back, but I can't. And I don't like to be reminded of it either. I'm Tina Henning and this is my story ... mine and Miss Rogers'.Tina is in Miss Rogers' 5th Grade class. The only thing she's best at is being the smallest kid in class. She wishes she could do something to get the other kids to notice her and think she's special. Eventually, she does. This is really neat. It's like it's us -- all of us kids together -- against the enemy -- our teacher.And then it happens ...Miss Rogers Stinks is set in 1946, just after World War II, in Fresno, California. Part of the story is true, and part of it is made up, but everything about the way things were in 1946 is true.- Learn why Miss Rogers, who must be 100 years old, is still teaching school.- Learn why Tina's good friend, Margo Akita, was away for almost 5 years during the war.- Learn about things from the 1940s like soda fountains, polio, phonograph records ... and the dreaded cloakroom.Miss Rogers Stinks is multicultural, inter-generational, partly bilingual (English/Spanish).Included is a section titled: Definitions, Descriptions, Explanations, and another titled: Things to Think About.
