How do I keep track of the students from my class who have preordered Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea?
To help you keep track of your preorders, you can download the tracking sheet here. Please use it to list the names of students who preorder Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea by the deadline on March 19, 2023, then reference the sheet when the preorder shipment arrives at your school. You can also list those students who order the book after the deadline to ensure that only those students preordering prior to that deadline receive the books first.
Will my class’s preorder shipment be addressed and delivered directly to me?
As part of our commitment to the environment, Scholastic Book Clubs will combine all preorders from the same school into one shipment to avoid paper and cardboard waste, as well as to help reduce our carbon footprint. Scholastic will select one teacher who has submitted preorders for the book, and the shipment will be sent to their attention. The packing slip accompanying that shipment will be clearly broken out by each teacher’s name so that the books can be distributed easily.
How do I find out which teacher in my school will receive the shipment of Dog Man: Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea preorders?
All teachers who place a preorder by Sunday, March 19, will be notified the following week of the name of the teacher who will receive the school’s preorder shipment. Notifications will be sent via email. If you do not have an email address set up with Scholastic Book Clubs or if you have recently opted out of Scholastic Book Clubs emails, please call Customer Service at
1-800-SCHOLASTIC (1-800-724-6527).
Can my preordered books be shipped directly to me?
If you are selected to help distribute books in your school, all of the copies preordered by your school will be sent to your attention. Otherwise, please contact the teacher receiving the preorder shipment to make arrangements for collecting the books for your class.
What happens if I miss the preorder deadline?
Any orders placed after the preorder deadline of March 19 will arrive AFTER the national release date, with targeted arrival dates of April 7–11.
