(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ashley Spires. Henry refuses to stop reading a fantastic book when the school bell rings. Despite a daily buildup of increasingly blaring bells, Henry sticks to his choice. A silly tall tale of improbably escalating destruction ensues as Henry's decision causes imbalances in the school. Spires's cartoons enhance the merriment.
Reviewer: Miriam Lang Budin
