      Please join us for a reception, reading and signing with Houston teacher Sally Horrigan, who will regale us with hilarious anecdotes, actual test answers, and quotes from her seventh grade science classroom. In Chapter 1, "Birds and the Bees... and Genes," random comments from students include, "I still can't get over the fact that I can make a baby by just having sex," and "Abstaining from sex is a good idea because boys have big mouths." In Chapter 2, "Creative Answers to Questions on Tests and Quizzes," students define their vocabulary words thus: "Metabolism is just like the worker. It goes through a process to get to what it needs to get to. DNA is just like a batter. It makes the cookie into something better." This charming collection features illustrations by Sally Horrigan.
