Illustrated by
Teresa Murfin.
From "do NOT show up late" to "do NOT do unto others," Percy Isaac Gifford offers his rules for success in school. Unfortunately, all the rules are for what not to do, so when he lists the last one, "don't forget to have lots of fun," it's hard to imagine what he means. Playful illustrations enhance the levity in the occasionally uneven rhyming text.
