Percy P. Bottomley's Very Important Guide to School Survival (Paperback)

Paperback. Percy P. Bottomley is a self-appointed expert in all matters of school survival. He believes rules can solve every situation. He is calm when others panic, confident when he should not be, and certain that a well-timed pointer and an IMPORTANT notebook can change lives. The children around him know better.Each book in the series follows Percy as he explains one aspect of school life with absolute seriousness. The illustrations tell a slightly different story. While Percy instructs, the classroom finds its own way. The result is dry, observant humor that respects the intelligence of its readers.Aimed at ages seven to twelve, the series blends visual comedy, light chaos, and a narrator who never realises he is not in control. Percy is the straight line. The world bends around him.The Very Important Guide books are designed for re-reading. Small details reward careful eyes. The humor lands without cruelty. The tone stays clever without talking down. The goal is simple: to make children laugh while they recognise themselves in the background of the story.Parents and teachers will recognise the classroom politics, the unwritten rules, and the way children adapt faster than adults expect. Percy, however, remains untroubled. He has a plan for everything. This item is printed on demand.
