The Teacher's Pet
Mr. Stricter always wanted a pet. But when Bruno starts wreaking havoc in the classroom, it’s up to the kids to solve one BIG problem! This “very funny” (PW, starred review) picture book is “a guaranteed chuckle” (USA Today) that’s “perfect for classroom read-alouds” (SLJ). Filled with “brilliant illustrations and silly hijinks” (BookRiot) “bound to make any child giggle” (Deseret News), THE TEACHER’S PET is a “wonderful and whimsical” (BookPage) collaboration between author Anica Mrose Rissi and illustrator Zachariah OHora that showcases their “over-the-top sensibilities that mesh fantastically” (The New York Times). Now with a great new cover for paperback!
