"Prolific anthologist Hopkins encourages his audience with a series of poems describing school personnel...Shi's digital illustrations show students of varying ethnicities and a staff diverse in age and gender...They add significant details. This surprisingly even collection includes short poems by 14 different authors including the compiler... vital... for a back-to-school collection and good for reading aloud." -Kirkus Reviews

"The verse of several well-known poets...interweave beautifully with that of many less familiar voices, resulting in a collection that is fun to read and to listen to. The digital artwork is bright and eye-catching; the cartoon people animated and upbeat. Used to kick off a writing assignment or to brighten up a gloomy day, these entertaining poems will hit the spot." -School Library Journal
