"Kids with experience in the classroom will get a laugh out of this picture book about a teacher's pet that gets out of control, and it's the kids who must save the day. Simple enough text for beginning readers to practice, and clever plot twists to engage those in early grade school." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
When their class tadpoles are big enough, Mr. Stricter tells his students they can keep just one. The class chooses Bruno, the smallest of the bunch. But Bruno doesn't stay that way for long. Soon, he's grown into a giant, classroom-wrecking creature: he eats desks, he farts for show-and-tell, and he sneezes slime all over everything! With Mr. Stricter blinded by love for the pet, the students must step up and take matters into their own heroic hands.
This hilarious tale by debut picture book author Anica Mrose Rissi, brilliantly illustrated by Zachariah OHora, will keep kids giggling page after page as the class comes together to solve one BIG problem.
Genre: Children's Fiction
