(3) K-3 Illustrated by Philip Hopman. Having heard about "stern teachers and homework and bullies," Davy avoids school on his first day and builds his own version. His school on wheels inspires the students at the real school to take off from their humorless teacher. The protagonist's creativity and the narrative insouciance is reminiscent of Hoban or Dahl, while the illustrations resemble a painterly Blake.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
