Lizzie and the Last Day of School

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kris Aro McLeod. Lizzie, who adores school, is dismayed when summer vacation begins; she mistakenly thought first grade would last for twelve whole months. Luckily her teacher, who also loves school, is teaching summer school in the park, so Lizzie happily joins her there. The resolution is satisfying, though it seems improbable Lizzie doesn't know about summer vacation. Energetic illustrations reflect Lizzie's ups and downs.
