#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Ms. Rachel brings her signature teaching style to her very first
book! Children will practice more than 20 important milestones—including gestures and speech—and sing
their favorite songs as they help Ms. Rachel find a special surprise just for them. Ms. Rachel is looking for
something very special, and she needs your help finding it! Using educational techniques from her beloved
YouTube channel and threading them into an interactive story, Ms. Rachel shows kids and parents alike fun
ways to engage and play! While Ms. Rachel invites readers to open a series of imaginary boxes to see what’s
inside, she guides them through exercises like pointing, waving, and call-and-response. Fans will recognize
characters from their favorite videos, and everyone will join in on singing the lyrics to songs like “The
Wheels on the Bus.” After the adventure ends, parents and educators can use the helpful tips included in the
back of the book to assist with brain and language development. Kids are sure to read and reread this new
classic! There’s plenty to keep them delighted and engaged with their favorite teacher. And, as always, she
makes sure they know just how special they are!
