A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to School...

36 pp. | Chronicle | March, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4521-3168-9 $12.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Benjamin Chaud. The author-illustrator team behind I Didn't Do My Homework Because... brings us another litany-of-excuses picture book, here a drawn-out explanation of why a child is late to school. There's humor in the nonsensical string of diversions, but there's not much transition from one to the next. Chaud's fine-lined cartoons contain lots of surreal, clever details (including a final twist behind the teacher's back).
