Bloom is an Albert Whitman author.

From Booklist:

Ages 4-6. In this cautionary tale, Bloom's rhyming text accompanies colorful illustrations set against white backgrounds. One Monday morning, Mrs. Hubbub's class begins acting up. None of the children seem able to pay attention, share, or say "please"; they're more interested in teasing and making obnoxious faces at each other. Before class can even get started, Amanda sprouts a tail. Then, during music, Sara grows long ears. Lunchtime behavior is even worse, and by rest time, the entire class has metamorphosed into pigs. What can a teacher do? Call the Pig Lady, who instructs the little pigs in etiquette and helps them turn back into children. By the end of the day, everything's back to normal: "Yes, manners are like magic: / whether you're small or big, / be sure to always use them, / so you won't become a pig." The charming illustrations of pigs will draw young children to this moralistic but enjoyable bit of fun. Kathy Broderick
