The Fungus That Ate My School

32 pp. | Scholastic | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-590-47704-8 $$15.95
(2) 1-3 Illustrated by David Catrow. When three young scientists leave a fungus experiment unattended over a wet and rainy spring vacation, they return to discover that an insatiable über-fungus has taken over the school, devouring (and mocking) everything in its slimy path. While Dorros tells this picture-book parody of a sci-fi thriller with relative restraint and sly humor, Catrow's wildly Seussian illustrations burst off the pages. Run for your lives!
