Review
This edition of My Weird School features a vote for a class pet. Andrea and the girls want a bunny, so of course Alexia suggests a snake, and the boys outvote the girls. They get their pet snake and Alexia gets to feed it a live toad for lunch. The class starts bringing their own pets in for show and tell, and Andrea's poodle scares the snake and he appears to have died. There's lots of blame to go around, but Mr. C. reminds them that this snake plays dead when he's scared, and he's actually fine. Buy this volume only where the series is popular.
