Summary: This book is a little too gross for comfort!
Comment: The children's book, The Teacher from the Black Lagoon, written by Mike Thaler is about a young boy's fears on his first day of school. The boy's teacher, Mrs. Green, was infamous for being an unpleasant teacher, and he dreams that she eats and dismembers parts of her students' bodies. The boy was more than happy to wake up and realize that his teacher was just a nice, normal, friendly young lady.

Summary: Revolting
Comment: Parents beware! This message of fear of the unknown can be given in infinitely better ways. The writing style is for a very young child. However, before you find out the main character is having a dream, children in his class have been beheaded, half eaten, turned to ashes, entirely eaten and "is digesting", or had a head shrunk to the size of a pin (picture given of small head on girl's body). At naptime the teacher says "Everyone who still has one, put your head on your desk."
I do not find this flight of fantasy amusing. Where, one might wonder, did this boy become exposed to such violent images? This book is more likely to create new fears for your children, than to calm their fears.
I also reacted a little to the teacher ending up as a blond with, if not blue eyes (they are just black dots), then blue eye shadow.
Violence and stereotyping. Worst children's book I have read in a long time.
