Opis

Charlie thinks his dog, Norman, has got it good: he gets to spend his days lounging on the couch or playing fetch, and he never has to do any homework. But when Charlie makes a wish to be a dog instead of a boy, things get a little topsy-turvy

New York Times best-selling author Kelly DiPucchio's signature humor and New York Times best-selling illustrator Brian Biggs's bold, playful art come together in a hilarious tale that proves that the grass always does look greener on the other side (even if that side involves drinking from the toilet ). Now available as an 8x8 paperback with stickers, this picturebook is full of comic encouragement for young students. Praise for Dog Days of School " B]rings down the (dog) house. The perfect choice for any reluctant scholars."-- School Library Journal "Biggs' illustrations . . . are hysterical."-- Kirkus Reviews

Recenzje

"This clever text explores the 'grass is always greener' notion with a deadpan delivery and Biggs's delightful, boldly outlined cartoon art extends the humor and brings down the (dog) house. The perfect choice for any reluctant scholars."- School Library Journal
