Bookroo's summary
Mr. Stricter's class picks Bruno, the smallest tadpole, as their pet. But Bruno grows into a giant, causing chaos by eating desks and sneezing slime. With Mr. Stricter oblivious to the mayhem, the students must band together to tackle their enormous problem. Can they find a way to restore order before it's too late?
From the publisher
On the day the tadpoles hatch, the whole class is amazed—they’ve never seen their teacher so excited. Mr. Stricter has always wanted a pet, so he tells the students they can keep just one. The class chooses Bruno, the smallest of the bunch. But Bruno doesn’t stay small for long. Soon he’s grown into a giant, classroom-wrecking creature: He eats desks, farts for show-and-tell, and sneezes slime all over everything! Everyone can see that Bruno is trouble. Everyone except Mr. Stricter.
With their teacher blinded by love for the pet, the students must step up and take matters into their own heroic hands.
