Perfect for kids of all reading levels who love funny stories. Author Vivian Vande Velde's humorous children's novel, "8 Class Pets + 1 Squirrel divided by 1 Dog", focuses on classroom pets that comically create situations that spiral into mayhem. This story touches on themes of responsibility, teamwork, problem solving and staying calm when plans go off track. We will play games and make reading FUN!
