(4) PS "My mom says 'because' is not a real answer. But I think it is." So begins a collection of reasons--really excuses--young Jack offers for his mischievous behavior. They're amusing, but the humor seems directed at adults who have heard them all (or some variation) before. Cheerful illustrations expand upon the excuses, allowing readers to form their own interpretations of events.
