From the Publisher

Everyone gets the Jitters sometimes!
"Pandemonium is always on display...a Valentine's story that is not overly treacly"—SLJ
A happy dog holding a lunchbox in his mouth

For the next big annual event or holiday, invite your students to help with party planning! Begin by brainstorming the important elements of the party—snacks, games, music, decorations, costumes, etc. Students may want to conduct research during social studies to understand the history and context of the holiday. Ask students to help set a budget, research prices, and add up the costs to practice their financial math.

The JITTERS series

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2-School teacher Mrs. Hartwell is a bit scatterbrained. She's trying to plan a Valentine's Day party for her class, but for once she'd love it to go smoothly instead of ending up as one of her usual disasters. After soliciting suggestions for relevant activities from her students, she prepares for the day. Due to the usual chaos and her overall messiness, the party gets a bit out of control, and the cake reveal is a bust. However, Mrs. Hartwell cannot be sad for too long, as her loving students clean up, salvage the cake, and make a huge Valentine for her, listing all the reasons she is such a wonderful teacher. Love's illustrations lend a lot to the story, portraying a diverse cast of exuberant students. Pandemonium is always on display, but it is good-natured; this entry in the "Jitters" series reassures that good intentions are always rewarded, and tells a Valentine's story that is not overly treacly. VERDICT School stories about Valentine's Day can be hard to find; while not outstanding, this book fills a need.-Allison Grayα(c) Copyright 2011.

Please check my website at www.juliedanneberg.com.

As a child, when I played at being grown-up, I never imagined myself as a writer. Instead I dreamed of being a famous chef, a secret agent, or a psychologist. I didn't end up becoming any of those things. Instead, I became a teacher.

I started off as an elementary school teacher, and thanks to my job, read lots and lots and lots of children's books. Not only was it fun, I witnessed, first hand the profound impact a good book can have on a child. It didn't take long before I was motivated to try and write books like the ones I enjoyed reading.

Later, when I became a mother, I began to seriously consider becoming a writer during our weekly trips to the library with my children. I think I enjoyed story time more than they did! The funny thing is that my kids eventually graduated from the children's section of the library and I never did. I still go to the library at least once a week, and while I don't sit in on story time anymore, I do leave every week with an armload of picture books.

Looking back I see how being a children's writer has helped me bring together many of my interests—teaching, traveling, and being creative.

After several years of teaching elementary school, I ended up teaching middle school, and I loved it. I am now newly retired and am enjoying immersing myself fulltime in writing and teaching writing to others.

My husband and I live in Boulder, Colorado where I enjoy reading, quilting, hiking, biking, and spending time with my family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heaps of Smiles and Hearts for This One
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2022
This sixth installment of the delightful "Jitters" series has Mrs. Sarah Jane Hartwell jittery over the upcoming class Valentine's Day party: determined to show her students how much she cares about them (and to avoid some past epic party fails, as well!). But when the games, crafts, and even the magnificent cake don't go quite as planned, Mrs. Hartwell's students seize the opportunity to let her see how much THEY care about HER. Judy Love's boisterous pictures are full of comic detail, and Julie Danneberg's text is rich with insights into classroom dynamics that will be deliciously familiar to teachers and students alike. The story's abundant humor is more than matched by its huge heart. I can't wait for more "Jitters" titles!

I love the book itself, but the copy I received has an upside down cover. It’s not that big of a deal, but still a little disappointing.
