The Day the Teacher Went Bananas
Lillian Hoban
If you are willing to suspend your disbelief sufficiently to accept that a gorilla could happily spend the day teaching a class while a teacher was mistakenly sent to the zoo, then you should enjoy this book as much as any six-year-old. Lillian Hoban clearly enjoyed every moment as is evident from her exuberant and gleeful portrayal of the resultant classroom antics. Great fun.
