Book #1: Mr Duckins’ Chickens by Mick Elliott

Meet Mr Duckins. Not only is he the funniest, silliest strangest, year 4 teacher in the universe, he’s also the most EPIC. That’s because Mr Duckins isn’t like other teachers. He doesn’t believe in tests. Or homework. Or opening doors before he runs through them. But when he hatches a plan to break the WORLD RECORD for eating THE MOST EGGS IN A DAY, Mr Duckins and his loyal class of misfits embark on a chicken-filled adventure that could turn rotten.
