Mrs. Millie has lots of fun teasing her kindergartners. She tells them to hang up their goats, eat gorilla cheese sandwiches, and to remember to wear their bats and kittens when they go outside for recess. Coupled with hilarious artwork that literally interprets each of Mrs. Millie’s “mistakes,” this lighthearted read-aloud sets a typical school day on its ear, even as it teaches a subtle lesson on wordplay.
