Synopsis

As a growing menagerie takes over Miss Fry's classroom, students of all species fall head-over-tails for their ever-patient teacher in Dayle Ann Dodds's funny story, illustrated with lively flair by Marylin Hafner.
Monday morning is sharing day in Miss Fry's class, and children may bring in a pet to share, "just for the day." Week after week, a new and wonderful pet comes to "visit" - a crowing rooster, a crawly tarantula, a cricket that does somersaults - but somehow ends up staying for a very long time. Soon a host of classroom critters are mingling happily among the students, and even the parents are pleased with what they see. "Isn't it great," they exclaim, "that Miss Fry loves pets so?" It's clear that the gentle Miss Fry is one teacher the kids and parents will never forget! But what will happen when the school year ends and it's time for all of her well-taught pets to say goodbye?

About this title

Synopsis:

Monday is Show and Tell day in Miss Fry's class, and the children decide to share their pets - without taking them home again! Soon Miss Fry's classroom transforms into a menagerie. "Isn't it lucky," say the parents to one another, "that Miss Fry is so very fond of pets." At the end of term Miss Fry insists the children take their animals home again, but one noisy cricket gets left behind, and soon finds a new home with Miss Fry.
