Ten Delicious Teachers
An irreverent and zany counting book that is gently thrilling and written in a deliciously infectious rhyme with witty and whimsical illustrations. Perfect for children starting or going back to school, and as a present for teachers.
Written by the award-winning author of the Waterstones Children's Book of the Year 2024.
Shortlisted for the Laugh-Out-Loud Book Awards.
Ten very foolish teachers have missed the last bus home. But LOOK – a shortcut through the forest! They'll be back in time for tea! Off they skip, unaware that in the woods a hungry horde of mischievous and hilariously goofy monsters is waiting…
"Funny and irreverent, it’s easy to imagine this one being a huge hit at school storytime." Guardian
"A comic countdown chant. This rhyming story is great fun to read aloud… Fabulously drawn by Sarah Warburton... Enormous fun." The Times Children’s Book of the Week
"A playfully wicked back-to-school alternative." The Bookseller
