[Teaching Little Fishies · Rating 4 out of 5]

🧙🏻‍♀️ Just in time for Halloween! This book is filled with wonderful and fun illustrations of the character’s teacher — Mrs Snitch! After all has been said, is she actually a witch or has the character got it all wrong?

🪄 With the perfect sprinkle of humour, this book made me chuckle at the end. Very well played there by the author Dean Rankin. Your children and your students will enjoy this one and it’s a great way to get into the spirit/theme of halloween through literature.

🧙🏻‍♀️ I am looking forward to sharing this one with my students and I am sure they will get a good laugh out of it.

🧠 Teaching Point:
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION — This book is perfect for younger primary aged students when introducing simple ways in which authors describe characters.

[Terresa Wellborn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very of-the-moment illustrations (Futurama style, which tracks as the author/illustrator has worked on that show, among many others), paired with sparse text and a solid "haha" dad-joke vibe ending. YMMV but I enjoyed it!
