A Fine, Fine Schoolis a delight for kids, with its colorful illustrations and gentle comeuppance for a well-meaning principal who learns that learningoutsideof school can be just as important as being in school.

Tillie goes to a fine, fine school where kids learn about dinosaurs, build pyramids, and paint portraits. When her principal decides to call all the students and teachers together for an announcement, no one could have predicted he would say that there will be school on Saturdays! Soon everyone goes to school on Sundays, holidays, and even the summer. He loves school so much that he forgets to give anyone time off!

This funny picture book from Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech, author ofWalk Two Moons, andNew Yorkercartoonist Harry Bliss is perfect for classroom sharing and for kids who enjoy school but want everyone to remember that time off is important too!

One day, Mr. Keene called all the students and teachers together and said, This is a fine, fine school! From now on, let's have school on Saturdays too. And then there was more.

So it's up to Tillie to show her well-intentioned principal, Mr. Keene, that even though his fine, fine school is a wonderful place, it's not fine, fine to be there all the time.
