In Tales From a Teaching Life, we have a true, heartfelt collection of verse that attempts to reach the heart of the teaching experience. It doesn't take too much exploration of this collection to arrive at the understanding that this author has walked your walk. I found the collection to be almost completely relatable and found that each of the selections led to deeper reflection on my part. A great idea for a gift for a colleague, though I'd hold off on gifting to a new professional or recent graduate as I think to truly synch with this book, you have to have spent some time walking the walk and fighting the, sometimes good, fight!… (meer)

This is a must read for all those who find themselves working in a classroom. With Patricia Austin's intensely creative way of sharing her massive range of experiences, there is something for every educator. Her stories are not only relatable, but therapeutic as well. The beautiful poetry makes it entertaining and pieces it together in a way that a busy teacher can read it in short intervals at a time. As you read it, you will think, "Ms. Austin, you understand what I am going through."

Calling all teachers! This is a must read for teachers or anyone considering teaching. The book, written as short poems, tells the story of the author’s teaching journey. Makes me wish I had followed my dreams to be a teacher.

A lovely, poetic look at feelings that goes beyond the typical happy/sad. Choosing some complex feelings and unique animals means the book can be used as a springboard for kids to talk about their feelings in new ways. I could see this being the start of a great project where each child picks an emotion to illustrate for a class or group book. It is also ideal for a sensitive child to learn new words to express feelings. It was a lot to process at one time, though, so might not be the best "fun read aloud" choice. It's going to need some introspection!… (meer)
