Fans of First Day Jitters will love spending the last day of school in the classroom of their favorite teacher, Mrs. Hartwell.

A perfect end-of-year gift for kindergarteners, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders to give to their own teacher and show their appreciation!


What do teachers do for summer vacation?

Mrs. Hartwell's students worry that their teacher will miss them while they are gone for the summer. The class comes up with a way to make sure Mrs. Hartwell won't be too sad. But Mrs. Hartwell and the other teachers have some plans of their own.

Once again Julie Danneberg and Judy Love bring to life the crazy antics of Mrs. Hartwell and her class. 

A fun, classroom storytime summer send off, or ideal teacher appreciation gift, Last Day Blues reminds everyone that teachers and students are more alike than we sometimes think.
As a kid, when Julie Danneberg daydreamed or played at being grown-up, she never imagined herself as a writer. Instead she dreamed of being a famous girl reporter, a secret agent, and a teacher.

As an adult, she is a former middle-school teacher and the author of the bestselling Jitters series, including First Day Jitters and Last Day Blues. She lives in Colorado.
On the Monday morning before the Friday that was the last day of school, Mrs. Hartwell took attendance. She sighed as she called out the last name. 
"I'm going to miss all of you," she said. 
The kids nodded in agreement. 
"I'm going to miss my friends," said Shannon. 
"I'm going to miss Daisy," said Dan. 
"I'm going to miss chocolate milk and pizza for lunch," said Joe. 
Everyone felt a little blue thinking about the last day of school. Even Daiys.
