A collection of 100 cartoons published in The New Yorker on school, teachers, and educationโfrom the most prestigious publisher of cartoon material in American media. From preschool through the PSAT, and from the playground to the detention hall, this remarkable collection of 100 cartoons from the illustrious archives of The New Yorker celebrates the humor and ironies of our educational system. The cartoons focus on a delightful array of familiar situations and characters, including teachers (from the underappreciated to the overrated), students (from the overachievers to the slackers), and parents (from the demanding to the uninterested). Such New Yorker greats as Charles Barsotti, William Hamilton, Roz Chast, and many others examine education from every perspective with the insightful wit that is the signature of the magazine's cartoons. School Days will make a great gift for New Yorker fans and is guaranteed to bring a particular smile of recognition to the faces of teachers, students, and parents everywhere. Review: Delightful - A must for any collector of New Yorker cartoons. Much to recommend dealer. A+ Review: used for teacher gifts - this is a great little book. great quality. it has a paper cover, high quality hardbacked book. i used them for teacher gifts.

Good. Small page size. Teacher Cartoons book is better
Good. Was surprised by the unusual 6" page size. A couple of the cartoons are very hard to read due to the small page size. IMO, the "New Yorker Book of Teacher Cartoons" is funnier.

School Isn't What It Used To Be
SCHOOL DAYS is a collection of school-related cartoons selected from issues of THE NEW YORKER. The cartoons go from pre-school through college and unlike many cartoons that appear in the magazine, most of these are actually funny and make sense. A total of 35 artists are featured. I think my favorite is the one featured on p. 63 by Leo Cullum. It features the Pied Piper with a single thought bubble thinking, "Four Years at Julliard for This? SCHOOL DAYS makes a nice gift for any teacher or anyone who enjoys cartoons from THE NEW YORKER. I'm a fan of both and I loved it.

Oh man..
This is has got to be the most repetitive book ever written. Punchline #1: Isn't it funny how adult concepts are getting into children's education? Punchline #2: Isn't it funny how adult concepts are getting into children's education? Punchline #3: Isn't it funny how adult concepts are getting into children's education? Punchline #4: Isn't it funny how adult concepts are getting into children's education? Punchline #5: Isn't it funny how adult concepts are getting into children's education? ... Punchline #100: Isn't it funny how adult concepts are getting into children's education? Cue the anvil chorus and shoot me now. If you find this book funny, you need to get out of New York stat. No, San Francisco doesn't count as a destination.
