A floppier, bendier, and less expensive edition of Zachariah OHora’s and my “very funny” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) picture book, The Teacher’s Pet, comes out on July 7, 2026, with a brand-new cover for paperback. It’s “a guaranteed chuckle” (USA Today) that’s “perfect for classroom read-alouds” (School Library Journal). If you like “wonderful and whimsical” (BookPage) picture books—the kind with “brilliant illustrations and silly hijinks” (BookRiot) “bound to make any child giggle” (Deseret News)—I hope you’ll pick up a copy (or three) and enjoy Zach’s and my “over-the-top sensibilities that mesh fantastically” (The New York Times).
