Synopsis
Another zany day at school. Judy is caught kissing Justin. Vanessa is eating paste. Mrs. Reilly, a teacher, turns into a ghoul from the dark side of the moon. And Ollie, the classroom mascot, who happens to be a seven-foot-long snake, is chasing Principal Poole. In other words, it's a day at school as imagined by Dave Crawley, author of the popular Cat Poems and Dog Poems. With lively illustrations by Liz Callen, this comical collection examines everything from taking tests, coming up with ever more original excuses for not doing homework, and the shock of seeing a teacher on a Saturday, buying groceries like an actual human being.

Reviews
Grade 1–3—In 20 rhyming poems, this book addresses the highs and lows of an average school year, including homework, teachers, social life, and vacation. Colorful cartoon illustrations and plenty of white space suit the poetry's bright humor. The selections are upbeat, and even the more serious topics, such as being the new kid at school or last chosen for games, have an optimistic tone. The poems vary in length, and some of the longer ones tend to go on a little too long. Purchase this lighthearted look at school for larger collections.—Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA
