Brown, P. ( 2014) My Teacher is a Monster (No, I Am Not!). NY: Little, Brown, and Company
Bobby’s got a problem… his teacher. She’s a monster! She doesn't let him play in class or throw paper airplanes. His favorite form of therapy is a day at the park and he doesn't expect to run into Ms. Kirby there. Will she let him run, play and be loud? What starts as an awkward encounter turns into an opportunity for student and teacher to see each other in a different light.

Literary Example of Shape
The progression of this story is shared equally between the text and the illustrations. As Bobby’s feelings towards Ms. Kirby change, so does Ms. Kirby’s physical appearance. Peter Brown uses simple shapes as the basis for the character’s round faces, the oval rocks, the square desks, and the triangular trees.
Evaluative Criteria: Setting
Evaluative Criteria: Setting
As any child will tell you, it’s weird to see a teacher outside of school. Bobby’s teacher was a monster so he really didn’t want to see her while he was playing at the park. This change of scenery led to Bobby and Ms. Kirby seeing each other in a new light. Once the setting of this story changed, the plot took a drastic shift. The characters needed the setting to change in order for this story to have a happy ending.
