My Teacher Is a Dinosaur!

Illustrated by Jeff Harter
You think your school is weird? What if your teacher was a Tyrannosaurus rex?!

Fans of the unusual creatures in the "How to Catch a" series will love this new super-silly picture book, a perfect back-to-school giggle. Includes two pages of stickers!


It's the wildest classroom ever with a T. rex teacher who decorates with dino-motivation, loves to roar, and sometimes gets a bit stompy!

From crushing desks to very loud math lessons, this prehistoric teacher turns every school day into an adventure, including the most epic field trips to Dinosaur Land!

Discover the hilarious chaos when a T. rex runs the show, making every other classroom look tame by comparison. Will you survive a day in this Jurassic class?

With page after page of jokes, puns, and visual gags, it's a book kids will want to read over and over. And it makes a perfect back-to-school gift!
