Skipping School [Paperback]

Sherry Salant (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2001

(Please take out the description that's there and add all of this) Skipping School is an idea that every child thinks about sooner or later but we never tell anyone. We think about all of the wonderful things that we could be doing instead of going to school but this isn't an anti-school book. It is a hilarious account in rhyme and pictures of what goes through everyones mind. Remeber Ferris Bueller-if you loved him, you'll love Lindsey. She's cute and real and there's a real twist in the end of the book that every teacher will cherish.

This book was very very pleasureable...to my...heart. I love all the fantasizing about what you can do when you have a day off. Yee-haw. Go girl. Skipping school rocked my world.

This review is from: Skipping School (Paperback)

Delightfully written by Sherry Salant and charmingly illustrated by Tony Comparato, Skipping School is a colorful, funny, very original picturebook about a young woman who dreams of skipping school when the alarm clock wakes her up. She fantasizes about all the things she could do while taking a day off, from watching TV to cooking to playing sports, but in the end she has to go - because she's the teacher! A delightfully silly read-aloud book, illustrated with goofy but loveable caricatures in full color, Skipping School is very highly recommended for young readers -- and their teachers!
