Mr Majeika - Mr Majeika 

Humphrey Carpenter 


Mr Majeika - Mr Majeika (Paperback)


Waterstones Says

Mr Majeika is the most magical teacher around!

As a rule, magic carpets don't turn up in schools, but this is exactly what happens when Class Three's new teacher flies in through the classroom window and lands on the floor with a bump.

Mr Majeika can behave just like any ordinary teacher if he wants to, but something has to be done about Hamish Bigmore, the class nuisance, and so he uses a little magic to turn him into a frog. And to everyone's delight it looks as if Hamish will have to remain a frog because Mr Majeika can't remember the spell to turn him back again! With Mr Majeika in charge, suddenly life at school become much more exciting - there's even a magic-carpet ride to Buckingham Palace!

There are other Mr Majeika stories to collect, including:

  • Mr Majeika and the School Book Week
  • Mr Majeika and the School Caretaker
  • Mr Majeika and the School Inspector
  • Mr Majeika and the School Play
  • Mr Majeika and the School Trip
