How many excuses are there for not doing homework? Let us count the ways: Giant lizards invaded the neighborhood. Elves hid all the pencils. And then there was that problem with carnivorous plants.... The excuses go on and on, each more absurd than the next and escalating to hilarious heights. Featuring detail-rich illustrations by Benjamin Chaud, this book is guaranteed to amuse kids and their parents, not to mention anyone who has experienced a slacker student moment—and isn't that everyone?
I received this book for free from publisher/pr firm in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Its been awhile since Michael has gotten any books to review and he was thrilled when he got the package of 5 picture books to read and review for the blog.
Even though he is 11 years old he still loves to read picture books.
I wish I would have filmed him when he was reading this one because he was literally laughing the whole way through it.
Out of the five books I got to review from Raincoast books I have to say that this was my favorite one.
Before I talk about my review I just want to say that Benjamin Chaud did a fantastic job with the illustrations.
I Didn’t Do My Homework Because… begins with the teacher asking the boy why didn’t he do his homework and the boy gives you a million reasons why and with each reason why it gets more elleborate.
Some of my favorites are:
- I was abducted by a UFO
- Elves hid all my pencils.
- I gave my pencils to Robin Hood
- My brother and I were kidnapped by the circus.
There are a few more but I don’t want to give away all the excuses so you will go and buy the book to find out what the rest were.
Thank you Raincoast books and Crystal for sending this book to me. I really enjoyed it.
