The Other Teacher — Sally Rippin

The Hey Jack! series’ 48-page chapter books fill the need for a cool, real-life boys’ series for early readers. Hey Jack! is full of down-to-earth, realistic stories, with word art or illustration on every second page and no more than 50 words per page. Jack’s enormous imagination injects the series with fun and humor, and the books are carefully typeset to provide reading breaks. Jack’s class has a new teacher. All they do with her is sing songs and play outside. How will they ever learn anything?
