Cotton and Clyde and the Chameleons

Book Cover & Preview Text
Monday morning dawned bright and clear at Temple School. Miss Tuke was in such an unusually good mood, unlike Cotton and Clyde. They pounded their feet on the dusty road to school while at the same time gingerly rubbing their backsides. Both boys were thinking of the best way yet to get even with old Miss Tuke. The minute they spotted her, the idea began to take shape.
There she stood in the doorway of the schoolroom, straight and stiff as usual, ringing the bell for school to begin.
"Oh, what a glorious day this will be! Cotton and Clyde have both been spoken to by their parents and should behave themselves. At last I've won! Back to the business of education," Miss Tuke thought as she gleefully watched them rubbing their backsides.
But… that was not quite what Cotton and Clyde had in mind.
