Teaches respect to all people and things. A hilarious, rhyming, read loud book that's perfect for the first or any day of school. The classroom pencils have had enough! We're more reliable than the pen, because with us you can correct, But has that earned us more respect? Of course not! Hasn't happened yet! We also write on different surfaces without making such a mark, But has that brought us glamour and attention? No! We're always in the dark. Buy this book for a good laugh, nighttime snuggle, or your favorite teacher.
