8 cllass pets + 1 squirrel + 1 dog + chaos by Vivian Vande Velde 68 pages

It's hard to believe that this is the same author of edgy y a novels like Companions of the Night. This is a somewhat tamer story of class pets running a muck in a school.  Twitch, the squirrel, is usually pretty happy hanging in the school yard, but in attempt to escape a owl he enters the school. Each chapter is told in the voice of different class pets, including: hamster, turtle, parrot, snake, etc.The principal's dog adds to the riot which brings in the  firemen! Slapstick fun!
