No quiero ir a la escuela

K-Gr 2–A young boy is about to learn what it means to skip school. Upon waking up, Jonas is not ready to go to school. Why can’t he go back to preschool like his little sister? Or be a dentist like his mom? Or work at an office, like his dad? When he plays hooky and ditches school for the day, he’s going to find out that preschool is loud and full of germs, that being a dentist is both smelly and dangerous, and that office bosses can be just as scary as teachers. To make matters worse, he will see firsthand just how hard it is to deal with grumpy and tired people back at home who also don’t want to go to bed! This fun story will take readers through a day in the life of other family members. The ­Spanish translation adeptly finds words ­specific to each space Jonas ­visits that can expand the vocabulary of readers. ­Empathy is at the forefront of this story, which is ­highly recommended. ­
