Ratings and reviews

Just finished the first book with my kids, and we all laughed out loud. Well done!

Since Mr. Granite's class won the most oddest contest in the history of the world, they meet Miss Child and go to the zoo. Not only that, but they get a last new student who happens to be Tomboy Alexia. Miss Child says that her elephant Binky can paint pictures, and Emily winds up in a cage with a lion in Lion Lane. What could possibly go wrong?

WHO WANTS TO BE WILD!😮
