Great Gross Fun!

This cumulative gross-out story was a huge hit with my school age kids. It starts out with an "old" teacher who swallows a flea (it fell out of her hair and into her tea), and of course, she has to follow it with something to gobble the flea, right? Eventually, she starts in on the class pets, much to the horror of the school children. Sure to elicit giggles, and "Eeeeeews!" and what young School Age kid doesn't love a good gross-out tale?

Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review

Reviewed by: Gayle Jacobon-Huset This book really grossed me out, so I'm sure children of all ages will love it! Teacher Miss Bindley seems like such a sweet loveable lady to her students until a flea drops in her tea. She drinks the tea, flea and all, to the horror and amazement of her class. But, it doesn't stop there. What "other goodies" does Miss Bindley devour? You'll just have to read this hilarious book to find out! Anne Bowen does an excellent job on her rhyming, rollicking text that builds on each new item the teacher eats in a clever way. Truly funny illustrations by Stephen Gammell makes this book a "must read" for the children in your life that enjoy the odd and gross!
