Robert Favretto hasn't just survived 45 years navigating the vibrant chaos of primary school - he's emerged with a treasure trove of hilarious stories!
In Chalk Full of Laughs, Favretto swings open the classroom door and invites you into a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud collection of true tales. Prepare for everything from students who took directions so literally it defied belief, to show-and-tell moments that spiralled wildly off-script, and the countless unpredictable surprises that kept him firmly on his toes (and occasionally sent him diving for cover).

Brimming with genuine warmth, sharp wit, and wisdom earned the hard way, these stories celebrate the joy, the madness, and the sheer fun of life at school. Perfect for teachers, parents, or anyone who's ever sat at a student's desk, this book is guaranteed to leave you smiling, snorting with laughter, and fondly remembering just how wonderfully unforgettable school days can be - especially in Mr Fav's class!

Robert Favretto's journey from strawberry picker to storyteller showcases a life rich in diverse experiences. After earning his teaching qualifications in the 1980s, he spent decades educating students across Victoria, including valuable time in special education. A lifelong sports enthusiast who now wisely appreciates elevators over stairs, Robert channeled his classroom experiences into children's writing in 1998 - and though he stepped back from full-time teaching in 2017, he continues as a relief teacher to keep his stories authentic, captivating audiences at schools, libraries, and festivals with his trademark lively presentations.
