School!

"Offbeat humor transfers into Harvey N. Trouble Elementary School, where Mr. Ivan Stuckinaditch drives the bus (or tries to) and Mr. Norman Don't-know is a clueless substitute teacher for dubious students like little Izzy Normal. There's nothing normal about [George] Booth's sketches and Kate McMullan's text, which will delight and challenge kids who love puns and wordplay." --USA Today

"School! almost reels in a tornado of silly wordplay and fast-paced events, with students like Dewey Haveto and little Izzy Normal in a chorus of confusion. Booth's comical portraits look like cameos of his beloved New Yorker cartoons--the janitors Iquit and Quitoo, tossing their brooms aside, could have just stepped off one of those crowded country porches." --The New York Times Book Review

"A playful, silly read that will draw young readers with its lighthearted humor." --BCCB

"If silly homonyms please you, you'll love a week with Chuckie Upkins, Gladys Friday, Iona Tricycle and more." --The Chicago Tribune

"Booth's great cartoon illustrations add whimsy and pure fun to every page, a quality that, when paired with McMullan's simple, quirky story, may well draw in reluctant readers. This is a good chapter book for children who enjoy the visual stimulation of well-done graphics." --School Library Journal

"If 30 Rock were set in an elementary school, one suspects it would resemble this loopy, breakneck comedy." --Publishers Weekly
