Illustrated by
Hanako Wakiyama.
An energetic boy happily plans his last day of school before summer vacation. He will be timely with his work, take fewer bathroom breaks, and forgo his burping at lunchtime--implying that these are normally troublesome areas. Retro-style oil illustrations capture the humor in the boy's reverie.
