A wildly funny picture book packed with outrageous excuses for not doing homework--from giant lizards to pencil-stealing elves!
Why didn't the homework get done? Well . . . it's complicated.
Maybe giant lizards invaded the neighborhood. Maybe elves hid all the pencils. Maybe carnivorous plants took over the house. In this laugh-out-loud picture book, one increasingly absurd excuse follows another as the story escalates into complete and glorious chaos.
Filled with humor, imagination, and delightfully detailed illustrations by acclaimed artist Benjamin Chaud, I Didn't Do My Homework Because ... captures the universal experience of trying to explain away unfinished homework--with increasingly creative results. Kids will love spotting the hilarious visual details hidden throughout each spread, while parents and teachers will recognize the all-too-familiar art of the elaborate excuse.
