The Squirrel Class

On the first day of school, it’s time to choose the name the class will have for the entire school year. Olga suggests “The Squirrel Class,” and her idea is the one everyone likes best. The next day, Olga is in for a huge surprise: all her classmates have turned into squirrels! Her wishes have come true, and chaos has taken over the classroom.

With illustrations that are just as cheeky and fun as the text, the authors of this picture book turn a harmless name game into a funny and surreal reality. Youngest readers, who are already familiar with the dynamics of naming things in class and participating in all kinds of related activities, can relate to the situations Olga experiences as a result of the squirrels’ mischief.
