Illustrated by
Dan Santat.
Determined to capture his own brand of perfection in this year's school picture, a boy ruins his planned scowl when he fondly looks back on a day full of "hard work" (mischief- and mess-making). The silly concept and wry tone of Diesen's story will hit home with young troublemakers, and Santat's saturated caricatures and yearbook-style endpapers will elicit lots of laughs.
