This humorous picture book answers the question all kids want to know―what do teachers do when the bell rings at three? Once the students go home, teachers finally have the run of the school.

Reviews

Library Media Connection

“The brightly colored bold illustrations convey the chaotic atmosphere as the teachers run amok. Each time readers look at the pictures, they will find a new detail and probably a new laugh. This is a comical story that will make a fun read-aloud, and bring to life activities that children have only imagined. School librarians will want to purchase this humorous book.”

Publishers Weekly

“The secret life of teachers comes to the fore in What DO Teachers Do (after YOU Leave School)? . . . Mayhem bursts from the spreads as Gott depicts teachers overtaking the playground, eating leftovers and tossing the rest in a ‘colossal . . . food fight.’”
Publishers Weekly

School Library Journal

“Gott’s computer-generated cartoon illustrations are energetic and colorful with lots of whooshy movement and splashy action, supporting the atmosphere of mayhem and fun.”
