So where is it then, this book? Is there a bustle on the bookshelf?

| a Rottweiler on speed |
Well; the truth is there are issues. Book issues rather than books being
issued.
A title is still undecided and a front cover is lacking.
When one peruses the pages of wisdom; the blogs of those that know and
pages of those that can and have, two things become evident: you need a title
that’s the Dog’s Bollox and a front cover that grabs the attention like a
Rottweiler on speed sniffing the front of your pants!
So here’s the issues:
The title:
 |
| Miss, Miss, how many fingers am I holding up? |
I have the sub-title. Everything they don’t
tell you in uni about being a primary school teacher. The possibilities for the
main title are legion; to many to mention here. My friend Rish, who teaches
future primary teachers, ran a few ideas past some of his charges and they went
for the infantile: Miss, Miss, Steve’s done a poo! They also liked, Miss, Miss,
yer knickers are on fire! And some liked, At the Front of the Class: How to
avoid a massacre. My pal Debs likes, Miss, Miss, how many fingers am I holding
up? But then there’s the copyright issues.
Whadyerthink?
The front cover:
If you’re an artist/designer/graphic designer/whatever
and you feel like drawing a very small drawing of a small boy doing a poo in
class, or a St Valentine’s Day Massacre in class……. On you go and send me the
results. Clearly you stand to make a small fortune in royalties. Very small.
Infinitely small. Fame and fortune beckon; not this century, but who knows what posterity will bring.
