About the author

Pamela Butchart

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.

Three new stories from the Wigglesbottom Primary series! And fun illustrations once again by the fabulous Becka Moor that I absolutely LOVED. Though, um, one little thing. Maybe not have the colours all be yellow... because in that last story.. it didn't look like a waterpark to me... but more like a peepark. With pee. Everywhere. The sprinkles were also just not working. XD
Anyways. Three stories! In the first someone who handles animals visits the class and terrifies the teacher but also makes the kids very happy. I loved this story, it was so cute and I just love Albie. Though I would have just ran out when I saw the cockroaches, haha. NOPE.
The second story is about losing your tooth and how to do that ASAP because tooth fairies may not know where you are on your vacation, and I just laughed at all the kids did. And then when he lost the tooth, oh poor kid.
And the last was the pee, um waterpark story! With slides. Fun. Song, and a boy who may be stuck.

Review to come in September.
