Students Rejoice!
By This Kid Reviews Books
Students rejoice! No more do you need the old line - ”The dog ate my homework.” This book is stuffed with new and exciting reasons why you didn’t do your homework! In this book you’ll find creative answers for non-homework doing. Like:“I didn’t do my homework because…”giant lizards invaded…my dog got eaten by another dog…rebellious robots…lost armadillos…and much, much more!Just make sure your teacher hasn’t read the same book.Opinion- As a kid, do I really have to tell you why I like this book after the description? Okay, I will. This book is hilarious! Each excuse gets wilder than the next. The book is one that all kids can enjoy. The illustrations are AWESOME! I love the wildness, and I love the kid’s hair. These are magnificent, the style of them is humorous and well-done.Mr. Cali and Mr. Chaud created a hilarious book together. The ending of the book is great (let’s just say his teacher is “on to” the boy). I recommend this to any child who has forgotten their homework, forgets their homework, or will forget their homework or is just too lazy to do it. ;) I don’t recommend this to teachers (for obvious reasons). ;)*NOTE I got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

cute, great illustrations
By Gregory A. Light
This is a book with a hilarious homework excuse and great illustration on each page. It is not a story.

By Dr. Linda
My granddaughter LOVES reading. I had read about this book in the New York Times Book Review section and was impressed with the review. I loved how entertaining and innovative the reasons were in "I Didn't Do My Homework," I loved the illustrations (which sponsored a lively conversation on each page), and I loved the ending! I knew it was a winner when I asked my granddaughter if I could keep the book at my home instead of her taking it back to her place and she refused!!! I recommend this book without reservation.
