Math Rashes: And Other Classroom Tales

This laugh-out-loud sequel to THE CLASSROOM AT THE END OF THE HALL is a witty collection of cautionary tales.

The New-School-Year-Moon hangs above every school the night before it opens. This year it shines over the W.T. Melon Elementary School brighter than ever. And the man in the moon is W.T. Melon himself! There's no doubt that, this year will be full of magical surprises that may teach Morgan, Kate, and the rest of the third graders a lesson or two.

Playground equipment gives a bully a taste of his own medicine, a fairy godteacher grants any wish, a rash breaks out after too much math--these are just a few of the wacky events that unfold in the classroom at the end of the hall.

Douglas Evans is the author of MVP*, Apple Island, The Elevator Family and the other collections of classroom tales: The Classroom at the End of the Hall and Mouth Moths.
