Summary

A delightful poetry collection about childhood experiences by a talented newcomer. "The principal called -- No more school! It's canceled all week -- April Fool!" School may not be canceled (sorry about that!) but there are still plenty of fun things to do all week long-getting a haircut with Dad, waiting for the ice-cream man, wishing on a star. From tummy butterflies on the first day of school, to the excitement of learning how to read, to the joys of slurping Jell-O, this playful poetry collection captures childhood in all its bumps and thrills. So if you'd like to know the significance of purple goop or the type of vegetable you can laugh right out your nose, turn the page and read on-you're sure to get a friendly case of the giggling hiccups!
