From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4?In Dakos's third book of poems about school (If You're Not Here, Please Raise Your Hand [1990]; Don't Read This Book, Whatever You Do! [1993, both Four Winds]), the selections concern day-to-day happenings in the classroom, the cafeteria, and on the playground, as well as interactions among students and teachers. Unfortunately, the promise of a catchy title and cover illustration is not fulfilled by the 32 verses within. Their quality is average at best?some rhymes are forced, some are awkward to read aloud, and some of the attempts at merriment are so contrived that the response is more likely to be a groan than a giggle. The text is often superimposed on the full-color illustrations. The pictures are not as effective in extending the humor as the black-and-white cartoons by Brian Karas in the earlier volumes. If Dakos's other titles are popular, you'll want this one, too. However, Dorothy Kennedy's I Thought I'd Take My Rat to School (Little, 1993) is a better choice.?Carolyn Angus, The Claremont Graduate School, CA
