Thank You, Mr. Falker -- Patricia Polacco

<b>The real-life, classic story of a dyslexic girl and the teacher who would not let her fail. A perfect gift for teachers and for reading students of any age.</b> <p/>Patricia Polacco is now one of America's most loved children's book creators, but once upon a time, she was a little girl named Trisha starting school. Trisha could paint and draw beautifully, but when she looked at words on a page, all she could see was jumble. It took a very special teacher to recognize little Trisha's dyslexia: Mr. Falker, who encouraged her to overcome her reading disability. Patricia Polacco will never forget him, and neither will we.<p>This inspiring story will make a beautiful gift for the special child who needs encouragement, or any special teacher who has made a difference in the child's life. <p/></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Patricia Polacco<br><b>Publisher:</b> Philomel Books<br><b>Published:</b> 05/04/1998<br><b>Pages:</b> 40<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.91lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 11.36h x 8.96w x 0.36d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780399231667<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.1<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>27677 / Thank You, Mr. Falker<br><br><b>Award:</b> Georgia Children's Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> North Carolina Children's Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> South Carolina Chi
