Although she is shy and quiet, Kitty likes going to school--and this is all due to her loving teacher, Miss Seabrooke. Only Miss Seabrooke knows the right way to open her thermos, do up her jacket and sing songs to the class. And only Miss Seabrooke is always there when Kitty needs a hug. So imagine Kitty's desperation when she arrives at school one morning and Miss Seabrooke is nowhere to be found. Instead, her comfortable routine has been thrown into disarray by a substitute teacher named Mr. Omar, a ginormously tall giraffe who is nothing like what Kitty's used to.
