this poem, a child finds funny excuses for missing school that involve being
sick. However, once the child realizes that
it’s Saturday, they are suddenly well enough to go outside and play.
Evaluation Statement:
This poem is super fun and made me
laugh out loud a few times. It includes
rhyming and different illnesses that exist.
I feel that a lot of children can relate to wanting to stay home from
school occasionally.
i remember reading this book when I was younger! This is hysterical. I especially love the ending!
