Dear Ms. Guadalupe is such a clever book. Kids will eat it up! Vermillion humorously captures the wonder of childhood and skillfully opens the door to learning. In content and style, Dear Ms. Guadalupe is layered with topics of elementary study: paleontology, letter-writing, and research methods. Science teachers will appreciate the researched information about the Texas dinosaur. Literacy teachers will find the epistolary format a useful guide for teaching letter-writing style and format. Librarians will love the model for asking and answering questions through research. And children will delight in their own smarts as they solve the mystery of the dinosaur before Joey, the main character. I'm delighted to have discovered such a perfect mentor text for my elementary school students!
