Owls Make Terrible Teachers – A Picture Book Postcard

by

Today’s Picture Book Postcard is from Owl of Owls Make Terrible Teachers.

The last thing you expect when you enter your classroom is that your teacher is out and the sub is… an owl?! Please BEWARE! Owls may be cool, but they make TERRIBLE teachers! You’ll be trudging through school in the middle of the night, dodging owl pellets, and don’t even ask about the field trip. Having an owl for a teacher is worse than talons on a whiteboard!

Image features a Picture Book Postcard from the newly-released picture book titled Owls Make Terrible Teachers.
