THE SENSATIONAL SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

A heart-warming and hilarious look at life in the classroom from the teachers who host the most popular UK education podcast, Two Mr Ps in a Pod(Cast).

‘'Education’s answer to Adam Kay … Lee and Adam Parkinson are doing for teaching what he did for medicine.' The Times

Have you ever wondered what really happens during the day when your precious little angels are at school?

In this book, The Two Mr Ps will take you on a side-splittingly funny journey through the weird and wonderful world of primary schools. It will also explore the pressures of modern-day teaching, revealing exactly what it takes to wrangle a chaotic classroom (or seven) on a weekly basis. From the absolute characters found in the staffroom to school-trip mishaps and everything else inbetween, Put A Wet Paper Towel on It is a must-read for teachers and parents alike.

So sit up straight, four legs on your chair, fingers on lips and get ready to take a trip down memory lane. And remember – when in doubt, just put a wet paper towel on it.

This is such a good listen! It is all so accurate and very relatable.
Love that the audio version is like listening to the two brothers having a conversation down the pub - lots of laughter, anecdotes and reminiscing.
A brilliant listen and well worth the wait. I really didn’t want it to end!
Well done Mr P’s!
