‘La maitresse est mal reveillee’

In French, from 3yo.

A funny story, this time this is not about children struggling to wake up and go to school. No, it is about a teacher who is not a morning person. She does not want to get up and get dressed, she does her best to avoid climbing into the car, she sulks during the whole trip to the school.

Cute story to put some humour into children’s morning routine. Some of teachers struggle too.
