I Hate School

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Tony Ross. In mischievous rhyme reminiscent of Ogden Nash, young Honor Brown explains to the grownup who's trying to improve her attitude toward school that the place is really a torture chamber, with nightmarish teachers--they cut off the heads of in-class-talkers--and other horrors. The gleefully ghoulish art captures every gruesome detail, including the cafeteria's menu of worms, "rabbit poo, and coal."
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
