About the Book

Newbery Medal-winning author Beverly Cleary brings her understanding and warmth to every page of this wonderful story of a "bad boy."

When it comes to stirring up a little excitement in class, Otis Spofford knows just what to do. He can turn a folk dance fiesta into a three-ring circus . . . or an arithmetic lesson into a spitball marathon.

Best of all, Otis likes teasing neat, well-behaved Ellen Tebbits—until the day his teasing goes too far. Now Otis is nervous, because Ellen isn't just mad . . . she's planning something!

Critical Praise

“Mrs. Cleary writes from a sure knowledge of the third grader’s world. It all rings true.” — The New York Times

“A really hilarious boy who is a classroom comedian, a show-off and a pest, but still very lovable.” — Publishers Weekly
