Remaindered Book
This funny, touching picture book celebrates the difference a good teacher can make. Written as a thank-you note to a special teacher from the student who never forgot her, this moving story makes a great classroom read-aloud, and a perfect back-to-school gift for students and teachers!
Dear Teacher, Whenever I had something to tell you, I tugged on your shirt and whispered in your ear. This time I’m writing a letter.
So begins this heartfelt picture book about a girl who prefers running and jumping to listening and learning—and the teacher who gently inspires her. From stomping through creeks on a field trip to pretending to choke when called upon to read aloud, this book’s young heroine would be a challenge to any teacher. But this teacher isn’t just any teacher. By listening carefully and knowing just the right thing to say, she quickly learns that the girl’s unruly behavior is due to her struggles with reading. And at the very end, we learn what this former student is now: a teacher herself.
From award winning author Deborah Hopkinson and acclaimed illustrator Nancy Carpenter, this picture book is made to be treasured by both those who teach and those who learn.
Remaindered Books are books that were returned to the publisher from the booksellers across the world. When the book first enters the retail channel, the balance of unsold stock is retuned to the publishers for credit.
Remaindered books usually have black mark so they can't be returned or sold for the original price.
So... What's the Big Deal with Remainder Marks?
The mark is a dot of stripe across the top or bottom of the book on the outside of the pages. Remainder marks are no big deal if you are purchasing a book as a reading copy.
If you are purchasing the book for a collection or to re-sell, bear in mind that remaindere marks are considered to be a defect by most collectors, except in very rare cases
