John was my son's AWESOME fifth-grade teacher -- it is so exciting to learn he's written a book. I've just ordered it and can't wait to read it! The tussle will be whether it just HAS to go into my son's bookcase (I suspect, yes) rather than being lent to his younger cousin first?! (Or maybe, Christmas gift?)

The big question is, did any of John's legendary sayings make it into the book? "Let's not rush the birthday cake ..." to find out.
