I Know an Old Teacher

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stephen Gammell. In this takeoff of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly," a teacher consumes more and more outlandish animals, class pets all. When faced with the climactic snack--a child--the green-faced, wild-haired teacher insists: "I would never do that!" Bowen's rhymes will have kids rolling in the aisles between their desks, and Gammell's spiky mixed-media illustrations are fittingly absurd.
