(4) K-3 Illustrated by Meredith Johnson. Milo is sick of hearing his older sister talk about her teacher. When the beloved Mrs. Bell comes over for breakfast, Milo doesn't mean to feed his dog her flapjack breakfast--really!--but he comes up with a quick solution to the food problem. The humor is very broad and slapstick, especially in the illustrations, but it's well targeted to its primary grade new readers.
