When Mrs. Norrell invites her students to bring something they love from home for Show and Tell, David Dixon sneaks in his new dachshund puppy, Bandit. But during the presentation, the puppy escapes. David races off into the school building to find Bandit. As he runs away from Mrs. Norrell's classroom, David finds himself turning into a dachshund!
At first, he's delighted by the transformation. He tracks down Bandit, and the two have a blast eating the day's lunch, jumping into the suds-filled sink, and running around on the playground. But David doesn't want to remain a dog forever....
In Class Critters, a chapter book series for students ages 6-9, the kids in Mrs. Norrell's second-grade classroom magically transform into animals to learn life lessons. Each book follows a different child and their animal adventure and includes natural science facts about the featured animal in the back matter.
