Picture This: Where do Teachers Go at Night


Where do teachers go at night? Do they swim from sharks with very big teeth, or watch the Aurora Borealis in Scandinavia? Do they jet around the world and return to their classrooms ready to teach the next day without any sleep?

With bright, funny artwork these picture books ask the question that a lot of young school pupils are thinking. 

Some of the humour in these stories was lost on my children as my husband is a teacher, so they've never viewed their teachers as people who live in schools and don't exist outside of them! But children without that personal connection would definitely find lots to smile and wonder at, and my children still enjoyed the silly antics the teachers get up to.

I was really excited to spot a page about the Isles of Scilly in Where else do Teachers Go at Night as it's one of my very favourite places. Across the two books, the teachers visit everywhere from New Zealand to Iceland, so these books are also a great way to look at different countries.


Where do Teacher go at Night is written by Harriet Cuming and illustrated by Sophie Norsa
