It's the last day of school! Gilbert is excited about summer vacation, but first there's the class party, and Mrs. Byrd will give out the end-of-the-year awards. But will Gilbert even get one? Patty's the best speller. Philip's the best reader. What is Gilbert best at? Humorous and reassuring, this story by Diane deGroat perfectly captures the bittersweet emotions of the last day of school. As Gilbert's class says good-bye to Mrs. Byrd, she reminds each of them how special they really are. And that she will miss them very, very much!


No More Pencils, No More Books, No More Teacher's Dirty Looks! (Gilbert and Friends) Reviews


  • Alfy

    It was nice but kinda long for a pre-k child!

  • Kelsey Rice

    This book was about a Gilbert and his last day in first grade. On the last day, they all got awards and recited poems for their parents. Gilbert got the award of good friend. Gilbert and his classmates were very sad to be leaving their teacher but were very excited to be on summer break. I thought this book was so cute! I loved the illustrations! This book would be so fun to read to your class on their last day of first grade. I think you could use this in the classroom to talk about going to second grade and the ending of the school year and beginning of summer. Also could be used to talk about poems and have your students write their own.

    It’s Gilbert’s last day of 1st grade and he and his classmates are a mix of emotions while presenting poems for their families, receiving awards and saying goodbye to their teacher.

  • Mellanie C

    This was cute.

  • Emma

    I remember crying at my fifth grade clap-out because I didn't want to leave my teachers and my school.

  • Kat

    Too long

  • Jen

    This has been a great read for our last week of school this week. It's Gilbert's last day of school and his class is having a party where awards are going to be given out. Gilbert can think of a variety of awards that his classmates could be getting, but he's wondering if he'll be the lucky recipient of one of those awards.

  • Yapha

    What a perfect end-of-school book! It captures the mixed emotions that children feel on the last day of school just perfectly. I've been reading this series to the third graders throughout the year, and this is just a perfect way to end the year.

    My only issue with the book is that the characters seem older than 1st grade, and the third graders were a little disappointed to see them as such.

  • Jackie

    As summer vacation is looming, Gilbert is excited to recite his poem for friends and family on this last day. Mrs. Byrd is going to give out awards for the 'best' in class, yet Gilbert is worried that he really isn't the best at anything. He is surprised when his award is presented and it turns out to be the best-ever!

  • Michelle Carter

    It's the last day of school and it's awards day. Gilbert is so afraid he won't get an award. But he gets one of the best awards ever. The students are all afraid that their teacher will be sad without them over the summer, but no worries, she is going to be just fine.

  • Michelle

    A great book to read to children the last week of school.

  • Cana

    Mommy says: Not nearly as meanspirited as the title implies.

    Grammy, thank you for reading this to the kids.

  • Allisa Zamarripa-Garza
