Product description

Agatha Parrot is the most exciting and hilarious comedy series since Mr Gum! But don’t take our word for it . . . take hers!

Hiya! This book is about Odd Street School where I go along with mad Ivy who always jumps down stairs four at a time WAHOO! And Martha who is big and jolly and can sort out boys. The oddest teacher we’ve got is Miss Barking who wears goggles and gloves to use a pencil sharpener.

The story is about when she tried to execute Martha with a floppy cardboard axe, but instead Martha’s head floated off and exploded ha ha brilliant! Don’t worry. Martha ends up eating an ice cream… but if you want to know how, then you’ll have to read the insides, won’t you? WOW how exciting – da-da-darrrrrrh!

As well as stories you’ll get the full gory guide to school life, such as Miss Barking’s daft plan to hold a sports day without any winners, how to make the most of just having one line in the school play, the secret teacher beauty competition and how to cure a highly infectious outbreak of invisible spots. Hope you like it, and thanks for reading this BLURB!

Written by the hottest new prospect in children’s books, Kjartan Poskitt, and illustrated by the artistic genius behind Andy Stanton’s Mr Gum, David Tazzyman, Agatha Parrot is more brilliant than you could possibly imagine. Seriously – Try to imagine it. Nope, not even close. Anyway, it’s the funnest of funny children’s books.

    ANYONE WHO SAYS THIS BOOK IS OK, IS WRONG! This book is FANTASTIC! OMG, it is so funny! Agatha cracks me up and I just laugh and laugh as I read and read! I read this the first time in my bed as soon as I got back from the library. I read the blurb and couldn’t wait to get reading. I actually hate reading but this book is practically the only book I read alone—and Mariella Mystery! ITS AWESOME! Guys if you haven’t read it, YOU MUST READ IT!

    Agatha Parrot’s class is always arriving on time and no one has had a day off of school. The teacher said if they all keep coming in one of the days she’ll take them to the Egyptian museum. But one day, Agatha’s best friend Martha has a day off of school. They find out as they went to go pick her up before school since they all walk to school together. When they find out Martha isn’t going to school, they ask Martha’s mom for the coat Martha always wears and they get spare trousers and make a fake Martha with a balloon head!

    Things were ok until they suddenly they realise ‘Martha’ should not have her coat on in class, so all the friends pretend to be cold and get their own coats on. Luckily the teacher believes them. At lunch time, real Martha shows up! Agatha decides the real Martha has to hide in the bathroom cubicle. Meanwhile, the teacher decides the class is going to have a sword fight (fake swords) to see what it was like in Egyptian time. The head teacher decides it will be cardboard swords instead. At that point, the fake Martha flops on the desk. Agatha explains that Martha is just getting in the right frame of mind but unfortunately, the balloon flies out and up to the light and burst because the light is too warm!

    The Headmaster screams and faints, the deputy head comes in. Agatha quickly goes to the toilet to get the real Martha. The headmaster just keeps saying ‘The balloon head exploded!’ Eventually they all do go to the museum.

    This book is for mainly girls, 6-8 year olds. The illustrations really do actually go with the words and helps guide your reading. They are also really funny!
