By Lester L. Laminack

Book Overview

Celebrate the 100th Day of School with this kid--and teacher--favorite from award-winning author Lester Laminack!

Jake and his fellow students are getting ready for a celebration. Tomorrow is the 100th day of school and everyone is going to share their collections of 100 things. The day of the celebration arrives, but Jake forgets the 100 family pictures he has glued into a special memory book at home. Disaster!

But thanks to Jake's ingenuity and the sensitivity of his principal, Jake does have a collection to display that day... and something special to share with the class on the 101st day of school.

WONDERFUL BOOK! FANTASTIC ART!

Your kids will adore this book and its young hero. Jake is the kind of kid who tugs at your heart. He forgets his 100th-Day project, and that's where the fun begins. This is a story of kindness and love ... but I don't want to give the plot away, so ... see for yourself. You'll love it as much as I do, I'm sure. Fine description from an author who really understands what kids like to read. And the illustrations are fantastic!
