I Didn't Do My Homework Because...

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Benjamin Chaud. In this small-trim manual, author Cali delivers an onslaught of over two dozen outlandish explanations for neglected homework. The one-note running humor is unrelenting, but homework-averse kids will applaud the zany excuses, each made cleverer in Chaud's hilarious, detailed cartoons: e.g., the narrator has turned into an elephant to illustrate "cough medicine that my doctor prescribed had a strange effect on me."
