*Discussion Questions for My Teacher is a Monster
How would you describe your teacher? Is he/she mean all the time? Is he/she nice? What is Bobby’s
teacher, Ms. Kirby, like in the classroom? What happens in the story when Bobby goes to the park? Who
does he meet there? Have you ever seen your teacher outside of school? Did it seem strange? What does
Bobby do for Ms. Kirby in the park that makes her exclaim, “Oh, Bobby, you are my hero!”? What other
things do Bobby and Ms. Kirby do together in the park? How does the illustration of Ms. Kirby change
over the course of the story? How does Bobby’s opinion of Ms. Kirby back at school change after their
weekend adventure in the park? Was Ms. Kirby still a monster? Do you think Ms. Kirby’s impression of
Bobby also changed after their adventure? In what ways does Bobby’s behavior affect how Ms. Kirby
treats him? Have you ever thought one thing about someone, only to have that original impression change
once you got to know him or her better? If your teacher seems like a monster sometimes, how might you
get to know him or her better?
