Class Pets: Fuzzy’s Great Escape is the first of a new series written by master of early readers Bruce Hale.  This Class Pets title is enjoyable as an animal adventure and a humorous fiction for grade 2-4 readers. Hale introduces readers to six animals (a snake, bunny, guinea pig, mouse, iguana, and a tortoise) who live in classrooms of a primary school.  The story is tightly woven and fun complete with suspense and action.  Each classroom pet has personality as well as skills far beyond expectation.  

This is a series that is bound to do well with the intended readers, those who enjoy humor and suspense. Hale has again penned a winning storyline for his avid readers.  Early classroom teachers will want this paperback title in their collection and public libraries are bound to hear request for the new series from their young library card holders.  Gift to early readers.
