​

The last thing you expect when you go to school is to see the substitute teacher is an owl. BEWARE! Owls make terrible teachers!

​​

Prepare for laughs and learning in this humorous sequel to the award-winning book, Alpacas Make Terrible Librarians. Another round of surprises awaits when you find out what might happen when an owl takes flight in the classroom as a substitute teacher. From an impromptu pajama day and feather-filled social studies lessons, to hunting for a midnight snack and awkward bathroom breaks, this school day stretches into a night like no other. But just as you're about to tip-toe far, far away, your real teacher arrives to usher you home (allowing you to catch up on some much-needed sleep)!

​​

With the same zany cast of characters brought to life by this award-winning team, OWLS MAKE TERRIBLE TEACHERS promises to be as hilarious and informative as the first story (and will make you appreciate terrific teachers everywhere).
