Martha Speaks: Teacher's Pet

<p>This chapter book based on PBS's popular TV show <i>Martha Speaks </i>features two back-to-school stories, plus a glossary and activities. In the first story, T. D. adds Martha's name to the substitute teacher list at Wagstaff Elementary, but not even he expects a talking dog to actually fill in for Mrs. Clusky. Never one to ignore the call of duty, Martha takes the class under her wing - er, paw - but Helen's not sure their friendship can survive Martha's strict teaching style. In the second story, Alice is in <i>agua caliente </i>when she is assigned an oral report in Spanish class. She can't speak a word. But with the help of some Mexican alphabet soup made by Tio Jorge, Martha can! Is it cheating if a Spanish-speaking dog helps you with your homework?</p>
