Celebrate Teachers with Miss Kraken

Story Box Library Activity of the Month: October

The minute we saw Miss Kraken, we all knew it was going to be a bad year. She's cranky. She's strict. She's just plain … weird. Miss Kraken is definitely not the teacher the kids were hoping for. But she might have a surprise or two up her sleeves.

A hilarious tale of bad behaviour and unexpected consequences. Written, illustrated, and read by Nicki Greenberg.
