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. Written by internationally celebrated children’s author Davide Cali, this energetic and highly relatable story is perfect for back-to-school season, classroom read-alouds, reluctant homework-doers, and families who appreciate silly humor with a touch of exaggeration.
HILARIOUSLY RELATABLE HUMOR: A laugh-out-loud collection of increasingly ridiculous homework excuses kids and adults alike will instantly recognize.
DETAIL-RICH ILLUSTRATIONS: Benjamin Chaud’s energetic, highly detailed artwork rewards repeat readings with visual jokes and funny discoveries on every page.
PERFECT FOR BACK TO SCHOOL: An entertaining choice for the start of the school year, classroom storytimes, and easing homework-season stress with humor.
