Praise for Mr. S: The tale's genuinely absurd situation, the mystery of the teacher's identity, and the deadpan storytelling make this a memorable read-aloud choice. A genuinely funny story that teachers and parents will enjoy sharing with children.   -Booklist (starred review)

Mysteries for young readers are few and far between and this one is fun and entertaining; it will elicit laughter and–plenty of discussion.   -School Library Journal (starred review)

Everything about the narrative is playful, and readers will be sucked in by a seriously funny question: Can a sandwich be a teacher? Far from stale and ripe for repeating.   -Kirkus Reviews
