The Day Our Teacher Went Mad by
The stories are laugh-out-loud funny while carrying emotional and moral messages. The messages are very subtle, and children will be too busy guffawing at smells and fluffs for it to be patronising.

Fantastic new detailed covers will stand out in store, and lift the series for a new generation of Good Boys and Girls. Check out ChristopherMilne.com.au for links, a fart keyboard and more!
