What do you think of this book as a gift for a preschool teacher?

My daughter is 4 and in pre-pre-K (she misses the birth date cutoff, so she has an extra 11 months before she starts Kindergarten). Her teacher is wonderful and I say this because she a little different than most. She might tell a child to get off the table and is satisfied if they do it even after a few seconds and moving very slowly. She says it is because they need to keep their dignity in tact. Whatever it is, they love her. I love the things my daughter comes home talking about – she is learning common things in unique ways.

Anyway, I bought this book Hooray for Diffendoofer Days! by Dr. Seuss with help from a couple of other people. It’s a great book about how we can learn to think in different ways, but the best part is the back section showing Seuss’s drawings and notes. He passed away before it was completed.

The illustrations are not exactly Seussian and my daughter thinks they are scary, so I thought it was just a wasted purchase. Then I had the idea of giving it to her teacher as an end-of-year gift. I don’t know, though. I know they are tired of knick-knacks and all that. Would this fall under the just more junk category or something cool that she might love? She is a kind of a funky, free-spirit, but not in that ditzy stereotypical way.
