(3) K-3 In a small village in Chad, students and their teacher build their classroom from mud, grass, and saplings. After the school year is over, seasonal rains wash the classroom away, but the children will be ready to build again next year. Rumford's energetic art, with its vibrant textured surfaces and deft black line, helps convey his characters' enthusiasm for learning.
