Synopsis

Bobby has a problem at school. It's his teacher, Miss Kirby. She stomps, she roars, and she won't even let him throw paper aeroplanes in class . . . what a monster! One day the unthinkable happens when Bobby bumps into Miss Kirby outside school. However, he soon finds out there's more to her than meets the eye.

This beautifully illustrated and brilliantly funny book from award-winning artist Peter Brown shows that monsters -- and teachers -- are not always as bad as they seem.

Media Reviews
It's a stylish and very funny look at the relationship between a boy and his teacher. The Bookseller This is a story with a subtle message, about how children perceive adults and how they think adults perceive them in turn. Practical Pre-School May bring back fearful memories of school for five-plus, but is an otherwise witty, elegantly expressive picture book from the author of Mr Tiger Goes Wild. newstatesman.com Children, and their teachers, will love this warm and funny tale about an unlikely friendship. Brown's distinctive illustrations are used to wonderful effect in a clever story about learning beyond first impressions. Lancashire Evening Post My Teacher is a Monster! is an visually appealing and quirky tale about the stormy relationship between a pupil and his teacher, seen through the eyes of a child. The slow realisation that the teacher might not be as ferocious as she appears is mirrored wonderfully in the artwork by the monster's features gradually softening, until she becomes human again. librarymice.com
