Or at least, she watches a lot of Nature Joe. Nature Joe is incredible. He rescues animals, returning them to their natural habitat. <p/>Mrs. Birdley is a teacher. The natural habitat of a teacher is a classroom. <p/>So when Mrs. Birdley escapes school and ends up wild, loose, and confused at the local grocery store, Miranda knows just what to do: she must use her brain, her guts, and her extensive knowledge of Nature Joe to rescue Mrs. Birdley--at any cost! <p/>This delightfully over-the-top picture book by newcomer Emma Reynolds explores the weirdness of seeing a teacher outside of school and will have young readers laughing out loud every time they read.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "Reynolds, award-winning author of <i>Creepy Carrots!</i>, has delivered another gem and children will relish Miranda's outrageous traps and the poor unsuspecting adults who are snared in them. A definite purchase for all children's collections and an easy choice for a read-aloud." <i>School Library Journal </i><b>starred review</b><br><br>"A fun story for all the kids who think their teachers live at school, because where else would they live?" - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>"Aaron Reynolds' tongue-in-cheek text cleverly exploits the trope that educators have no life beyond the school. Emma Reynolds' digital illustrations highlight jungle green predominately, accented with neon purples, oranges, and yellows...compositions are attractively varied, ranging from full-bleed spreads to single-page art and smaller, paneled illustrations. The text's use of terminology borrowed from nature videos (becoming "aggressive" and "natural habitat") adds to the fun." - <i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Aaron Reynolds is the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of many highly acclaimed books for kids, including <i>Here Comes Destructosaurus!</i>, <i>Carnivores</i>, and the Caldecott Honor-winning book <i>Creepy Carrots!</i>.
