In Mrs. Scribble’s classroom, the pencil sharpener is spinning out of control—literally. It’s dizzy, jammed, and exhausted from nonstop sharpening. Some students are sharpening just for fun, and others are grinding their pencils down to stubs.
But Mrs. Scribble isn’t about to let her sharpener spiral into chaos. With a clever plan and a set of clear rules, she teaches the class how to sharpen with care. Students learn The Three Sharpening Rules, track their spins, and give the tired sharpener the break it deserves.
Perfect for ages 4 to 9, this funny and thoughtful rhyming story teaches self-control, moderation, and respect for classroom tools. Part of the Mrs. Scribble’s Classroom Solutions series, the book includes a creative activity page where kids can write a haiku from the sharpener’s point of view.
