When the Teacher Isn’t Looking contains 46 hilarious poems about school, covering everything from homework and tests to school lunches and detention. Over 1,000 elementary school students have tested the poems in this book to be sure that only the most hilarious ones are included. Nesbitt’s previous book of funny poems, The Aliens Have Landed, is a hit among 6- to 12-year-olds, too.

Kenn Nesbitt has also contributed poems to many Meadowbrook Press children’s poetry anthologies, including Rolling in the Aisles, Miles of Smiles, and If Kids Ruled the School.

Paperback | 75 Pages

Excerpt

Amanda Ate an Orange

Amanda ate an orange
And an olive and a peach.
Since then her teacher always keeps
The crayons out of reach.

Reviews

“This blackboard is “chalk-full” of loony mayhem! Kenn Nesbitt must have spent a lot of time in the principal’s office. Where else can you get a sense of humor this rich?

-- J. Patrick Lewis, author of A Hippopotomusn’t and many other books of verse.

“I remember school, and it wasn’t funny, yet these poems are hilarious. What gives?

-- Calef Brown, author of Polkabats and Octopus Slacks

About the Author

Kenn Nesbitt is a ten-foot tall, time-traveling robot from the fourteenth dimension. He lives in a creaky old house in Spokane, Washington, with his wife, two kids, several lazy cats, countless mice, and a fish. If you can’t find him at home, he’s probably writing goofy poems for kids at www.poetry4kids.com or visiting schools from coast to coast.
