Bookroo's summary

When Miss Bindergarten catches the flu, her kindergarten class faces a week without their cherished teacher. With Mr. Tusky stepping in, the children must adapt to change, crafting get-well cards and counting the days until her return. How will they manage without her familiar presence? Discover the heartwarming resilience of young students as they navigate this unexpected challenge.

From the publisher

A playful take on a topic that all parents can relate to-getting sick! The ever-lovable Miss Bindergarten is not feeling well. The flu strikes on Sunday, so she has to stay home from kindergarten on Monday. Mr. Tusky (who is a wee bit rusty) will be her substitute, but it just won’t be the same. The kindergartners miss Miss Bindergarten! They pass the time by making get-well cards and singing songs, all the while counting out the days that Miss Bindergarten is away. What ever will they do without her?
