A young student imagines what he would do if he could design
a school. His design includes a zoo in the main lobby and classrooms in the
sky.
This book is the ideal read aloud. The text has seamless
rhythm and rhyme. There is a lot to look at in the illustrations and they
should certainly spark the readers’ imagination and provide an opportunity to
talk about what the readers’ would do if they designed a school.
