Swamp Monster in the Third Grade is a three-book series by Debbie Dadey published between 2003 and 2006. The premise puts a genuine swamp monster into a third-grade classroom, where it has to navigate school life alongside human kids. The series includes Swamp Monster in the Third Grade, Lizards in the Lunch Line, and Great Green Gator Graduation.
The books play the monster-at-school concept for humor, with the swamp creature dealing with the same tests, cafeteria food, and social dynamics as its classmates. It is aimed at the same early chapter book audience as Dadey’s other school-based series.
