Smartypants: (Pete in School)

(3) K-3 Pete, the ravenous pooch from What Pete Ate from A-Z, invades his owner's school, and, following in the paws of Susan Meddaugh's Martha, eats something (an encyclopedia) that allows him to talk. Kalman's quirky portraits of the teachers, who lose possessions to Pete's bottomless stomach, highlight this vibrant story, told in Kalman's familiar stream-of-consciousness style.
