A young animal expert must rescue her teacher gone wild in a grocery store.
Miranda, a self-proclaimed animal expert inspired by Nature Joe, faces an unexpected challenge when her teacher, Mrs. Birdley, escapes the classroom and roams wild in a grocery store. Determined to restore order, Miranda embarks on a hilarious mission to 'rescue' her teacher using her wits and Nature Joe's techniques. Can she succeed in returning Mrs. Birdley to her natural habitat, or will chaos reign? This whimsical adventure explores the oddity of encountering teachers outside school, promising laughter and surprises at every turn.
In this wildly charming and fantastically imaginative story by the New York Times bestselling author of Creepy Carrots and Creepy Pair of Underwear, a young animal expert knows just what to do when she spots her teacher in the wild.
Miranda is an animal expert. Or at least, she watches a lot of Nature Joe. Nature Joe is incredible. He rescues animals, returning them to their natural habitat.
Mrs. Birdley is a teacher. The natural habitat of a teacher is a classroom.
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!
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.

“Cute illustrations, semi-clever, but what a horrible moral . . . rolling teachers in garbage cans and locking them in their classrooms? No thanks!”
