Scanner and the Icky, Sticky Gum — Una Belle Townsend

Scanner the Scottie loves his job at the library. He listens to children read! One day on his way to take a nap, Scanner smells something yummy inside the trash can.  He soon ends up inside the trashcan, upside down! When Miss Copywright rescues him, he's covered in icky, sticky gum. She puts him in a big box so he doesn't get gum everywhere. When Miss Copywright takes him home, Scanner is not happy. Not only does he get a peanut butter massage, he has to take a bubble bath. Grrr...those students need to wrap their gum in a tissue!
