School Fever

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Neubecker. Each of these twenty school-related poems has a silly twist: a boy contracts "computer-virus fever" and has to stay home until summer; the shoe-hating music teacher is described as "easy on the ear, / But she's deadly on the nose"; it's the principal who roots hardest for a snow day. The accompanying digitally colored, black-outlined pictures are funny and appropriately childlike.
