Descripción editorial
Every school needs a little help now and then, especially PS 1000.
Sure, just like your school, PS 1000 has teachers, a principal, and a maintenance crew, who all keep everything running smoothly, but they don't do it alone!
Who do you think makes sure everyone gets back on the bus after a class trip? Who doesn't let the scenery in the school play accidentally fall over? Who fights off a gang of rampaging squirrels trying to steal chocolate pudding cups from the cafeteria?
The Class Pet Squad, that's who! And when a student leaves his beloved action figure behind in class, the CPS—a hamster, a turtle, a rabbit, and a lizard—have to find a way to get it back to him, even if it means crossing paths with a dog and, worse, a cat.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When Ben McGillicutty leaves his beloved Sharkman action figure at school, the Class Pet Squad springs into action, determined to reunite Ben with his toy. Reptilian Rhonda plots the route to Ben's house; turtle Julius is in charge of supplies; three genius mice invent the robotic canine "vehicle" that will get them there; and Max the hamster enlists the dubious services of the Second Street Specials, a gang of vermin. (Glitter-loving bunny Suzu is told, "Just stay out of trouble!") Crisp, chunky two-color cartoons amp up the action-movie-spoof atmosphere (paperclip grappling hook, anyone?). Tense encounters with local cats and dogs are just a few of the hurdles that Yaccarino throws at his brave crew, whose big personalities belie their tiny statures. A promising first adventure. Ages 7 9.
