Description

Any kid who forgets to make his bed, gets caught daydreaming in class, likes to eat with fingers instead of forks, or is sick of stupid questions is going to love the snappy, wacky comebacks in the Funniest Excuse Book Ever! Forget the boring, ordinary excuses everybody uses. The hundreds of answers and explanations in this zany collection will crack kids up and drive parents and teachers crazy. From school smarts (Why were you absent yesterday? I wasn't absent, I was temporarily invisible) and chore chuckles (Why didn't you take the garbage out? I had another date) to behavior busters (Why are you always fighting? It must be these boxer shorts I'm wearing) and food funnies (Why aren't you eating the school lunch? School lunch? I thought this was leftovers from chemistry class), there are plenty of silly answers to silly questions here. Whether they're aimed at getting out of trouble or just getting a few laughs, the amusing alibis and ridiculous retorts included here are guaranteed kid-pleasers. No excuses! Sterling 96 pages, 114 b/w illus., 5 3/4 x 8 1/4.
