After all, how many substitute teachers can build a monstrous sand castle, parachute from a plane, and swim underwater . . . with an octopus? Put down your pencils and strap into your seats, because this class is about to experience some serious turbulence!

BOOK REVIEWS
The clay, acrylic, collage, and Photoshop illustrations are lively, and Smith supports this fine flight of fancy with diverse, fantastical figures. . . . An amusing read-aloud that more advanced youngsters can read alone, this festive book will delight school-bound children and teachers.School Library Journal A classroom teacher himself, Johnson (James and the Dinosaurs, 1995) pays tribute to the resourcefulness of substitutes.Kirkus Reviews Smiths mixed-media collages are suitably goofy and well suited to the story. Their brightly painted clay figures . . . create an effect that is both intriguing and somewhat surreal.Booklist Audiences will relish the classroom hijinks, the holiday/school reversal, and the fact that they know better than the vacationing teacher; the substitutes intrepid nature adds another layer of enjoyment . . . kids will thrill to the idea of a sub with such pizzazz.The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books
