2.5 stars.
Picture two dogs standing near their food bowls. Each bowl is filled with paper. One dog says to the other, "Oh no, not homework again."
Did you laugh out loud? Then, this book will be a five-star romp through the best teacher-related cartoons in the New Yorker's long and distinguished publishing history.
If, like me, you had a nice little chuckle, then this book will be a two- or three-star affair. While I enjoy reading the New Yorker on occasion, the cartoons always register a "meh" on my laughter scale. It's not that the jokes go over my head; I just don't think they're that funny. Clever? Yes. Amusing? Yes. Hilarious? No.
The entire collection only takes about 15 minutes to get through, so it's worth checking out to see if it'll produce a few giggles or guffaws.

Quick read. Very humorous. Mostly about middle school. Teachers and parents alike will doubtlessly enjoy and appreciate. I cracked up at just about every page, but was really hoping for some college cartoons.

I am not a teacher but I have a lot of friends and a couple family members who were or are teachers (bless them! I so do not have the patience to be a teacher). However, as someone who went to school, I found a lot to love about these cartoons. They are witty, funny, and timely, just as you would expect the New Yorker to be.

Meh, at best. Some funny ones but quite a few were just "meh".
