I Know an Old Teacher by Anne Bowen and Stephen Gammell - ADVISABLE

I Know an Old Teacher by Anne Bowen, illustrated by Stephen Gammell. CarolRhoda Books, 2008. PICTURE BOOK

EL - ADVISABLE

A new take on the well-known cumulative rhyme in which it is a teacher who swallows the classroom pets. Miss Bindley swallows a flea, a spider, a fish, and even a snake but will she “Swallow a child? “ The old teacher smiled. . . “I would never do that!” Gammel’s signature watercolor, colored pencil, pastel, and crayon illustrations are colorful and humorous with wildly disgusting touches that children will enjoy. It might be fun to read this aloud to your class then they are misbehaving. . .
