This book will have kids and teachers hooting and hollering so much, they just might get sent to detention!

My Teacher’s in Detention follows on the success of Bruce Lansky’s other best-selling school poetry anthologies No More Homework! No More Tests! and If Kids Ruled the School. It features poems by all your favorite “giggle poets,” including Lansky, Kenn Nesbitt, Robert Pottle, Eric Ode, Ted Scheu, and others.

Excerpt

My Teacher Loves Her iPod

My teacher loves her iPod.
It’s always in her ear.
She doesn’t mind it if we joke
or chat ’cause she can’t hear

If we don’t pay attention,
she doesn’t seem to care.
Whenever she has music on,
she wears a distant stare.

Our principal dropped by one day,
and she paid no attention.
He took away her iPod,
and he sent her to detention.
