Joseph O'Tooley and the Escape of Herb the Verb by Allie Slocum

Every kid struggles with humility from time to time. Joseph (Joey) O'Tooley is no different. He is Peter's (Peter O'Tooley, Bugged and Bullied, Vol. 4 in the Character Club Series) younger brother. Mrs. Dish's new puppet, a firefighter called Herb the Verb, has been locked away! See if you can solve the escape room clues before Joey and his classmates.

You might just learn about verbs and something about humility along the way. Great read-aloud for teachers. Built-in glossary, discussion questions and teaching materials included. More at www.characterclubonline.com
