A Fine, Fine School [With Hardcover Book]

Celebrated New Yorker cartoonist and children's book illustrator Harry Bliss narrates this engaging story written by Newbery Medal-winning author Sharon Creech in which the love of learning is confused with extended schooling by a zealous principal. Young Tillie's gentle efforts to convince her principal that, although their school is quite fine, it's not so fine to be there all of the time, are depicted in clever repetitive text and slyly humorous illustrations. And, Mr. Bliss's exuberant reading makes this an altogether fine, fine presentation!
