Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales Review & Giveaway CLOSED

March 1, 2010 By Shawn Ann

I would like to introduce you to a new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales.

About Teacher Tales

This is a great gift for new and experienced teachers, providing them a morale boost and the knowledge they are appreciated. The teaching industry has embraced this book, and more than half the stories are from “celebrity” teachers, including all of the 2009 State Teachers of the Year and the 2009 National Teacher of the Year. There is a lot of buzz about this book in the teaching industry and those teachers who don’t receive it as a gift are sure to buy it for themselves, to read these 101 true stories by great teachers and appreciative students, with lots of laughs, poignant moments, and some tears too.

Product Details

My Take on it
Chicken Soup for the Soul: Teacher Tales is 101 inspiration stories from teachers and appreciative students (as the cover states).  These stories let you know exactly why some people become teachers, and really good teachers.  You will read stories that tell you why they teach, learn about their first year tales, what teachers learn from kids, great ideas, embarrassing moments, teachers being touched by students, teachers who have changed the life of a student, tough kids, reconnecting, and reflections on being a teacher.

There are some really great stories and if you are a teacher you may read some that make you remember a time when you were teaching that something similar happened to you!  If you are a student and want to get your favorite teacher something to show your appreciation, I’d suggest this book for them!

Disclosure: I would like to thank Merritt at Phenix & Phenix Literary Publicists for providing a copy of this book for the purpose of this review.  All opinions are my own.
