The Sunday Blues

(4) K-3 It's Sunday, and Steve, who considers school "really, really, really horrible," is depressed. Predictably on Monday morning, his friends' playground antics convince him that "maybe school [isn't] so bad after all!" This thin story is basically an excuse for Layton's funny, unkempt illustrations, which feature dialogue bubbles filled with cursive or craggy print.
