پیشی خان در کلاس

by Pamela Butchart, Becka Moor بکا مور (Illustrator), اعظم مهدوی (Translator)

در مدرسه‌ی وروجک‌ها هر اتفاقی ممکن است بیفتد. البته همیشه هم اتفاقی می‌افتد.
آیا گربه‌ی کلاس سعی می‌کند چیزی به بچه‌ها بگوید؟ بله.
آیا خوردن چیپسی که در چاله‌ی آب افتاده باشد آدم را مریض می‌کند؟ بله.
آیا خرابکاری‌ها تقصیر مارگارت خیالی است؟ بله.

حالا بچه‌ها با این همه دردسر چه کنند؟
حالا داستان‌ها را بخوان و حسابی بخند.

About the author

As a child, Pamela was lucky enough to grow up in a house full of pets and go to a primary school where lots of spooky and weird things happened (well, in her imagination at least). As a student, Pamela’s student jobs included: fishwife, teaching basketball in America, phlebotomist and Artist Liaison for a (really bad) Abba tribute band. Now, when she’s not writing or going out and about meeting readers, Pamela teaches philosophy to teenagers.

Her top selling stories include The Spy Who Loved School Dinners which won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and My Head Teacher is a Vampire Rat which won The Children’s Book Award. Two of her books, Petunia Peri and There’s a Werewolf in My Tent, were shortlisted for the Lollies – the Laugh Out Loud Awards.

Pamela lives in Dundee with her baby boy and their two awesome cats, Bear & Carlos. If she wasn’t working as a writer and a teacher she’d like to open a luxury hotel for stray cats.

A really fun book! My 7 year old loves these and I really enjoy reading them with him.

Illustrated children's book with a collection of three short stories. Miss 6 liked that there are named illustrations of the children and teachers at the front of the book. The name of the school was also part of the appeal! The stories are light hearted and riff on the ideas that younger primary school kids create and both believe and question (like surely the school fish dinners are dangerous rather than just awful so must be fed to the heroic stray cat, or Puddle-pox is real, or imaginary friends can genuinely play all kinds of pranks).

Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

In the fifth book in the series we see how a cat gets in to save the class from some bad fish, how eating a crisp after its been in a puddle can result in being ill and getting a spotty rash as well as a possible bus ghost/imaginary friend called Margaret who causes chaos and gets the children into trouble.

This is a great series of books packed with hilarious antics by the kids and animals alike able to be enjoyed by any age or gender for a laugh and the illustrations by Becka are great to annotate the tales and help ignite imagination too.

In the great tradition of Baby Aliens got my Teacher and Penny Dreadful is Incredibly Contagious, but aimed at a slightly younger audience. Most of the humour comes from over-imaginative children leaping to conclusions.

Cool

I did enjoy the story but there were too many "and"s where there could have been commas and full stops. I liked the pictures.
