Ms. Rapscott's Girls by Elise Primavera*

Where do girls with busy parents go to learn to brush their teeth, how to ride a bike, how to get along with others, write a proper thank you note, and most importantly, "how to find their way"?  The answer is obvious, one sits in cardboard box and flies over to Ms. Rapscott's lighthouse school.
Girls of the five busiest parents in the world fly in to spend a semester with Ms. Rapscott-Beatrice, Mildred, Fay, Annabelle and the ever lost Dahlia.
The girls spend many days on fantastical adventures learning about themselves and trying to earn their way to the top of the birthday cake!
Some reviewers have equated this book to Mary Poppins and Ms. Piggle-Wiggle.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: inferring, figurative language
