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

There were 10 teachers and they missed their last bus . Then they went through the forest but there were some monsters over there. Each monster ate each teacher but they didn’t eat one. The teacher was very angry with the monsters.

Fiction. Mrs hunter because she stood up to the monsters for being naughty. The monsters ate the teachers for tea. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

It was funny because monster ate the teacher but at the end there was a happy ending

This is a fiction book. I liked it because the very last teacher is really angry with the monsters and teaches them some manners when they are double the size. How can she be so strict with the monsters and not be scared?! She is a great character.

I liked it because they took the teachers and then the monsters studied

My favourite person was Miss Hunter. It interested me because they kept disappearing one by one and none of the other teachers noticed that they had been swept away by a monster.
I would definitely recommend this book to someone else.
