The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate the School

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Gammell. A girl surfs the Internet for science fair project ideas and sends off for Professor Swami's Super Slime ("mutant yeast with just a piece of dragon DNA"). She ignores the instructions when the slime arrives, and it consumes her cat, sister, father, teacher, and schoolmates. The story is limited by its rhyming format, but the slime-spattered illustrations ooze quirky appeal.
