# My School Stinks! - Hardcover

by **Becky Scharnhorst** (Author), **Julia Patton** (Illustrator)

**"Just might convince complaining children that their school isn't so bad after all."--_Kirkus reviews_**

**A hilarious back-to-school story told through journal entries about a boy who finds himself at a new school where the other students are REAL animals. Perfect for fans of Ryan T. Higgins's _We Don't Eat Our Classmates_ and Elise Parsley's _If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't!_**

_Dear Diary,_

_Today is the first day at my new school and I think there's been a mistake. My desk mate stinks, my locker buddy bites, and my teacher is unbearable! I told Mom my classmates are WILD ANIMALS but she said all little kids are wild animals. I think I'm going to be sick tomorrow._

Celebrate back to school (and even calm some back-to-school nerves) with this clever and funny story about a boy who accidentally winds up at a school for animals, but soon realizes friends can come in all shapes, sizes, and species. A great read for kindergarten through second grade!

**Praise for _My School Stinks!_**

"Along with being a good choice for children anxious about their own upcoming "first day," this offers a nifty exercise in reading between the lines."--_**Booklist**_

"An encouraging new-kid narrative told from an entertaining perspective." --_**Publishers Weekly**_
