The Office: a Day at Dunder Mifflin Elementary

By Robb Pearlman, Illustrated by Melanie Demmer

New York : Little, Brown and Company, 2020.

Miss Levinson has chosen Michael Scott to be the line leader! Michael is determined to be the world’s best line leader and even has his mom make him a sticker for his water bottle declaring it. As he struggles to get everyone to listen and have a perfectly organized line, he begins to doubt himself. His friends, Dwight, Jim, Pam, and Kelly help him realize that it is okay to ask for help and that even the best leaders in the world need help sometimes.

As an avid Office fan myself, this book was the greatest! The storyline is beautifully simple and a great lesson for all kiddos to learn. The easter eggs along the way by Melanie Demmer make it an enjoyable read for the whole family. If you are an Office fan at all, do yourself a favor and take a trip to Dunder Mifflin Elementary!
